Overnet, a p2p software program, considers my connection as 'Firewalled,' since it is. My elder brother told me that I'd have to do 'Port Forwarding' and allow access to Overnet.

My brother is away, so I thought I'd try to do it myself. I believe our firewall program is Nutcracker(or was it an internet connection hardware that was named Nutcracker..? Or was it something else entirely??), but I currently have seen no way to access it.

Anyway, how do I Port Forward without screwing up my connection to the net? I have this - http://www.edonkey2000.com/documentation/lowid.html - site to help me. Is there any specific Port Forwarding software or something?

Thank you.
