That software firewall is your problem. Find out more about it and report back here.

I dont even know if i have a software firewall. How do i know if I do. Is there one on NAV?

Do you use Norton Internet Security? Look through your Control Panel's Add / Remove Programs for anything you might think is a firewall. Some things you might find

Outpost
Sygate
Zonelabs

but there are lots more possibilities.

Could be the Windows firewall. Right click on My network places, go to properties. The right click on your internet connection (or LAN) and go to properties. On the top you will see an advance tab, click it and make sure the Windows XP firewall is off.

Also with your router, you should not have to port forward. If you still have problems hit me on MSN.

I have NAV but not Norton internet security, and my windows firewall is off.

NAV 2005 has an Internet Worm Protection crap thing that thinks Kai is a problem - haha.

Disable that, it's utterly useless if you use WindowsXP + SP2.
