no problem, hopefully it helps you. many people do not know they have their windows firewall or their antivirus may have a firewall running in them. There are also some services you can disable to make sure those are not running but usually just making sure there is no firewall at all running and the correct ports are open should fix it.
Yes thats going to help ... be patient. Posts like this will be regarded as spam ... I would most likely be safe in saying this applies to begging for approval.
