Question Firewall stopping Peer to Peer File sharing

I am looking for advice on a router. I am new to Linux and am trying to use Limewire and Ktorent and can make no connection. Limewire indicates I have a firewall. I have a Linksys router WRK54G and my guess is that is the problem. I have spent hours upon hours trying to get it to work using info from this site and Limewire.com to get past the firewall problem with no success. I think I did all the router changes thru the web I could and am having no success. I am wondering if there is a router which works with broadband cable I can purchase which would alleviate the firewall problem. The Linksys cuts out often (not as much with Freespire) so an upgrade may help with that also. If anyone thinks my problem is not with my wireless router I would appreciate direction there also

mrinfo(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 mrinfo(8)

NAME
mrinfo - Displays configuration information from a multicast router SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/mrinfo [-d debug_level] [-r retry_count] [-t timeout_count] multicast_router OPTIONS
Sets the debug level. When the debug level is greater than 0 (the default), additional debugging messages are printed. Regardless of the debug level, if an error condition occurs, mrinfo writes an error message and terminates. Nonzero debug levels have the following effects: Prints packet warnings to stderr. Prints all level 1 messages and notifications of down networks to stderr. Prints all level 2 messages and notifications of all packet timeouts to stderr. Specifies the number of times to retry a neighbor query. The default is 3 retries. Specifies the number of seconds to wait for a neighbor to reply to a query. The default timeout is 4 seconds. DESCRIPTION
The mrinfo command displays the configuration information from the multicast router multicast_router. The mrinfo command sends the ASK_NEIGHBORS IGMP message to the specified multicast router. If the multicast router responds, the response includes the version number and a list of addresses for their neighboring multicast routers. If the responding router has a recent multi- cast version number, mrinfo requests additional information such as metrics, thresholds, and options from the multicast router. Once the specified multicast router responds, the configuration is displayed to the standard output. RESTRICTIONS
You must be superuser in order to run mrinfo. EXAMPLES
The following example shows the output of the mrinfo command where mbone.phony.dom.net is specified as the multicast router: mrinfo mbone.phony.dom.net 127.148.176.10 (mbone.phony.dom.net) [version 3.3]: 127.148.176.10 -> 0.0.0.0 (?) [1/1/querier] 127.148.176.10 -> 127.0.8.4 (mbone2.phony.dom.net) [1/45/tunnel] 127.148.176.10 -> 105.1.41.9 (momoney.com) [1/32/tunnel/down] 127.148.176.10 -> 143.192.152.119 (mbone.dipu.edu) [1/32/tunnel] For each neighbor of the queried multicast router, the IP address of the queried router is displayed, followed by the IP address and name of the neighbor. In square brackets, the metric (cost of connection) and the threshold (multicast ttl) are displayed. If the queried multi- cast router has a newer version number, the type (tunnel, srcrt) and status (disabled, down) of the connection are displayed. SEE ALSO
