TomatoUSB

I've installed tomatousb "tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-108-AIO-64K". Its working well! Only problem is for some reason when i try to use a program from my windows 7 pc, its not able to use that program to connect to other devices on the internal network by using an internal ip address… like its blocked or soemthing! Programs such as "dcc" and "teamviewer". As long as i use an internal ip, it just doesn't connect to the device i'm trying to connect too…

Not sure whats going on, tried disabling the windows firewall, it didn't work. Tried changing some of the settings on the tomato web-interface, enabling wins, file sharing, but no luck!

What could be causing this? I've never had this happen before, i just installed tomato on my asus n66u today. Any ideas?

Found the solution…

Had to wipe the windows firewall from its previous settings i.e. restore, and then turn it off, then had to remove all the networks i.e. all the networks that i had ever installed on my windows 7 system, it keeps a track of them on the system and i had to remove these saved networks which were located in "network sharing centre" you have to actually press the icon of the network and it will take you to a screen where all the networks that have been installed in the system have been stored. then i had to reinstall all the affected programs on windows 7… and then had to reboot the system.

Took a while!
