Hi,

Routers usually have NAT firewalls. I use a US Robotics router and have the NAT firewall turned on and also run the ZoneAlarm firewall. I have no problems syncing wirelessly with my PC.

Are you sure it's the firewall causing the problem? - firewalls are primarily concerned with internet access and when you sync with your PC you are not attempting to access the internet, you are just accessing your local network.

Your WiFi card needs to be setup to connect to "Work" - click on Settings/Connections/Wireless Ethernet and chose Work from the drop down list under "My network card connects to:".

If your router has MAC filtering enabled then you will need to use your routers setup utility to define the WiFi cards MAC address in the allowed list.

Can't think of anything else without more info on what error messgae you're getting. Try these suggestions and good luck.
