Hello all,
I'm having some trouble dowloading files from P2P networks after installing a brand new hardware firewall. The new firewall I got is the linksys BEFSX41 and it seems to work fine with my internet browser but whenever I try to play games online or use Sharaza with it, it will fail. Fail meaning my internet speed is at 3kb/s, but my actual speed should be around 2500kb/s. Also If i run shareaza and try to browse on the internet, the internet would not respond even though I'm only using 3kb/s.
If i get my firewall disconnected everything seems to work fine but I duuno what the problem is.
HELP PLZ!!!! :( :( :(

You probably have a port closed that you need for the application, try the Linksys forum here (http://www.dslreports.com/forum/linksys), or find out what port the applications need opened.
