I mean "starting fresh", using the existing port etc.

I can't reinstall the router,
I tried to explain to my father which the router is installed to his laptop. He isn't computer illiterate so its like talking to a wall, it wasn't going to happen. My sisters started complaining and I would rather just not play games then deal with them :P.

If I was to open the port it would have to be on my side....: [

I heard of this "hard reset" which is holding in the reset for about 10-15 secs, will I have to setup the router all over again? Because my family would have my head.. X_x

I checked over my Wireless cards configuration and noticed that I don't have the green linksys icon that I had in my tray that I had back when I used Windows XP. So I located the Linksys files and tried to start the WUSB600N application. It starts shows the icon and then disappears. I tried running as admin and some compatibility modes but no luck, same results. Could this have something to do with me not accessing my router config?

Are there any programs that will port forward for you?

Thread finished I guess

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. It's just not in my realm of expertise.
