    I download alot and web surf. I was read that you should have your router wallfire enabled. Mine has always been Disable, but my Windows stand firewall has also been on. So I was trying to enable it. I put in a name, and action (allow), then is says Source, and Destination I left blank because I do not know what goes there. Then it says Schedule and I put always. I tried clicking apply but it says 'The Source Start IP address is an invalid address. Should I still try and set this up, do i need it, and what should I do?

    I do beleive this is where you set the ip address range for the firewall. For example if your ip address was 192.168.1.103 and your roomates ip address was 192.168.1.100 then you would want to set the source as 192.168.1.100 and the other as 192.168.1.103 if there are 5ppl on this then you would go from 100 to 105

    Hope this helps ;)

    This sounds like your trying to portward which you only need to worry about if your hosting servers. Trying leaving it alone and see if you can surf with out filling that stuff in, as you shouldn't need to.
