    I'm having a problem with WinXP and Firewall.

    Even if I set my router to DMZ, and I close my Windows Firewall... I'm unable to connect to port like 6246; 22117; whatever it is.

    Is there anyone who is having an idea?

    Problem resolved.

    The cause was that I had a Gateway (PhoneDsl Adapter) between the router and the DSL modem.

    The gateway was acting like a router with a firewall; so I set the Gateway as a DMZ zone. I wasn't knowing that the gateway could act like a firewall.
