Router Help

[:MoD:Shade]

Hey guys, I've never delt with routers before so I'm quite noobish.  I've been having problems lately with sending files over iChat.  I can recieve the files but I cannot send any.

Also having problems connecting to other Mac computers Public files I.E. through built in  personal file sharing.

Cheers,
Shade.

It may be that your IP has changed mate so you need to update your DMZ. you can do this most probably by opening your browser and going to 192.168.1.1 which will be the address of your router. You 'should' find settings pages which will allow you to check that either the required ports are being forwarded to your IP, or that DMZ is set to your computers IP (thats internal network IP and not external IP)
