doomd Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I'm running a fresh install of XP with no firewalls or anti-spyware/virus installed.I am using a zyxel 660 series modem(free from embarq)with firewall disabled.And like the subject says i cant open a single port.Having this makes my downloads crawl(which is not a good thing when trying to download a 4 gig linux distro).So I'm almost positive it is windows since i was having no problems before i reinstalled windows(same hardware).So can anyone think of something to do?I might try to reinstall windows but I'd much rather not have to.Any help is appreciated.

Firon Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Your Zyxel must be acting as a router. You need to forward ports, or set it to bridged mode (which will only work if you have only one computer connected to it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomd Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Well turns out it was windows after all.But thankfully a update fixed the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
