Follow these few steps:
1.) Go into Command Prompt (Start > Run > Type in "cmd" & hit the enter key)
2.)At the Command Prompt, type in: "telnet speedtouch.lan<--(gateway of your router. Alternatively, u can also use 'dsldevice.lan' or the gateway address)"
3.)Next, you will be prompted to enter your user name and password. Make sure u have administrator power for your account.
4.)Next, type: "firewall"
5.)follow by: "config state=disabled"
6.)type: "saveall" to save all of ur settings.
7.)Finally: "exit" to log out
Now, ur firewall is fully disabled. This time when u go back into ur router config through the web browser, u will notice that the firewall security status changes into: -
Dun worry about it too much. Now go check the event log and u will notice that the event logging doesn't show any address/ports being blocked by firewall anymore.
hehe... cheers ^^
