Thanks Andy,
Actually, my situation is kind of the opposite. I just did a
reinstall of Windows and that is when the problems started.

Anyway, since my last post, I tried using my computer at yet another
location and had some success. So, I am thinking it may be an issue
with my router, which I, coincidentally, bought at about the same time
I reinstalled Windows. I have no idea how to effectively bypass this,
since my attempt to do so obviously failed. Anyway, I am at another
computer now, but if you need it, I can post my computer's specs and
my router's name later.

In the mean time, if you, or anyone else, can help me with
successfully allowing my router to unblock these ports, I would
greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again,
-Steve


most, it not all, routers have a reset switch, it's usually a little
hole you have to get a paper clip to press it. Press the switch and hold
it for a few seconds, then release and try your system again. That
should reset your router settings to default.

A lot of ISPs try to prevent you from using different connections, since
your router is a different MAC address you might call your ISP, ask them
to reset your modem and that you've been having problems since you got
your new router.

Go to your router's website and see if there is updated Firmware for it.
Lots of modern firmwars can download updates automatically. Read your
Router manual for more info.
