I am using a 3com router that I got from tigerdirect awhile ago, and I have problem setting it (at 192.168.2.1) to let me send file throught it. I can only receive file by ICQ (using external IP), but not AIM.
I saw there is a way by setting 5 ports in the router to let ICQ send file from there, but that only let 1 computer(IP) to send files, and I have only a max of 10 special ports for the router (so max 2 computer can send). AND I have a total of 6 computers in my house :(, and that's why I bought the router to hide my IP.
I am trying to set up a ftp also, and I tried to do it with the real IP before the router with no success...
Can anyone experience in this field guide me with these problems???

Most routers I've seen default to 192.168.001.001 I dont know if thats screwing you up but checkout
