Since I switched from BT to Sky broadband several months back I have not been able to log onto PartyP who tell me that it is a firewall issue.
Now I remember when my techy-man set the new thing up for me he informed me that i didn't need a firewall as my new modem thingy had a firewall built into it.
So in words of one and two syllables and possibly with diagrams to aid my techno-dunceness could some patient and kind soul please try and explain what I should be doing to reinstate my connection.

Party said the first semi-plausible thing to get you off the phone. I'm on Sky and Party connects just fine. A quick check suggests Party only use port 443 which shouldn't cause you a problem - can you get to https://www.google.com/accounts/Login ? |

I can get to that page do I have to create an account, then what ? |

The google page was just to confirm that you could access https pages - the same type of connection Party uses. Click on this link: http://192.168.0.1. Username is sky, password is admin. That gets you logged into your router. Is your router black or white? (The menu structure is different on each model) |

OK, click here - it's the admin login for your router. Same as above but without the broken link. Once logged in click on Security at the top then Firewall Rules. Anything listed there? |

Neither link works for me although the first one tried to connect and then said something about being reset first. |
