Karnage Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 I just got Windows XP and I just wanted to know, should I turn on Windows firewall if I already have a router? Several programs such as Azureus and Limewire aren't cooperating even after I unblock them and I just wanted to know if that is why that happens.
Guest Fook Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Well for Azureus you have to use port forwarding if you're using a router. Otherwise you'll get NAT errors and your downloads will suffer. http://azureus.aelitis.com/wiki/index.php/PortForwarding
Carnival Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 The router is enough of a firewall for you, you don't need the windows one, it will just cause problems.
Kapoutman Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 For Azureus, I just enabled UPNP and it unblocked itself without any problems.
