On my linky router I didn't have to forward any ports either..

I know PC1 My pc i have to turn my software firewall off Sygate after i complete a WU or it hangs

PC 1 is usually in DMZ

PC2 is behind the NAT firewall so i didn't know if it would mess it up or not

With routers, you usually can get by without firewalls on the client computers. My Barracade has it own firewall built in.

They used to hack into my computer when I was directly connect to the cable but ever since I got the router, no more problems. :)

Yea routers have NAT firewalls better then software firewalls
(IE ZA)

I use a firewall on PC1 cuz i run it in DMZ alot

Out of curiosity, why do you need to expose yourself? Can't you just port forward?

You do not need any ports open/forwarded on any NAT routers for Folding to work, nor do you need DMZ. Simply default settings on the routers work fine, since Folding makes all client based requests...NAT routers always let out client based requests.

I think he might be running a server or something for which the Belkin router is not letting him do easily. My guess anyway.

My Barracade forwards my webserver to 8080 because Charter Cable blocked 80. :rolleyes:
