with my daughters computer. Everything works great , except now
my friend can no longer connect to the new IP address it assigned.
Is there a way to fix this or turn off the firewall it puts up.
Please HELP.
Thanks
Thanks

The Linksys router assigns what I call a generic IP for every computer
on your LAN. What your friend needs is the IP of your router which is the IP
assigned by your cable company.
As for turning off the firewall, you can't with the Linksys router
system. But you can do either of two things. You can open up the needed
ports or you can assign your computer to the DMZ in the advanced settings
that will bypass the firewall. That's what I do when I host with my
dedicated server.

I think this is addressed in various readme files as well.
