How can I be firewalled if I'm not using a router?

Easily. You could have a firewall installed or you could be using anti-virus or another protection type program.

The prob has fixed itself...:wtf:

My Win firewall stays off & there is no other firewall software on my computer.
I also have auto update turned off....I choose the updates....not MS.
I dumped the cashe, cookies and temp files and rebooted...:rolleyes: :thumbsup

Thanks anyway Lynne :wave:

Actually, not really that weird. I've been having ISP problems at home. It will occassionally just drop the connection or it will get really, really slow. I tried connecting up to a torrent yesterday during one of the really, really slow periods and I got listed as firewalled. The tracker performs a connection test with your IP addy when you first connect. Since my connection was having problems, the test failed and I got listed as firewalled. I did NOT like seeing FIREWALLED listed under my name!
