I do not think you can turn off the firewall in the linksys.
What program are you using to transfer files? Thier may be other ports you need to forward to your PC on the router.

yes i did the dmz host in the router configuration. ok let me rephrase. i can send files out to ppl that don't have routers. but with ppl with routers i can't. me and a friend have the same router. and both of us did the same thing in the configuation. but we cant send file to each other. we are using aol instant messenger. i hope i am asking the right question. basically i cant send files to him. we both have linksys router
