Nope, you don't have to forward any ports. Any transfers should be done in the internal network behind the firewall.

Try my settings and see how it goes. Before you try this, make sure you can connect to the internet and browse with your X3i and sync with the PC using the cradle. Then proceed as follows:

Start->Settings->System->About->Device ID make sure to rename your device without any "underscore" characters

Settings->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks set both fields to "My ISP"

Settings->Connections->Wireless Ethernet Tap on the name of your network. Set connects to: "The Internet". Uncheck the "This is a device-to-computer ad hoc..."

ActiveSync->Tools->Options->Use This PC (Your PCs name should be here). Check both boxes. If you want to explore your X3i while synced, go to the Options box and check "Maintain Connection" under When syncing remotely

With these settings, I can browse the internet and sync wirelessly at any time on my home network, even at the same time. I don't need to use the cradle ever again if I don't want to. Anyhow, let us know how it turns out.
