Thanks Blagard , I pulled up the page to the router but I can not find where to turn the firewall off ..no where .Any idea what it would be listed under ?
From the main menu, choose Security -> Rules
Add a new rule for Inbound Services with a service name of "ANY" and an action of "ALLOW always."
Then, move your new rule up until it is the first rule in the Inbound Services section.
Finally, make certain that this rule is enabled by checking the Enable column.
Your Netgear Router firewall is now disabled and your internal network is now completely unprotected and open to attack from the Internet.
I have simply pasted in a solution from a google enquiry!
