Having tried and checked everything else a thousand times, the only problem I can see stoppiong me from being able to host is that IPX thing.
Now, how do I enable that? Before you all say 'wa doesn't need it, just change to tcp/ip blah blah' , I'd like to try it anyway.
I went on www.nanacide.com which said hor to do it by going to network connections, properties, install etc. but IPX wasn't there. Is there something else I need to do? I run windows XP btw.
Thanks.

Nobody uses IPX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPX) anymore.

No, I have no router, and have both of my firewalls configured right.

You've got two firewalls? Why? A blocked port is a blocked port. *confused*
Which ones? Maybe you've got 3 and forgot the inbuild firewall of Windows XP?

erm, if its not there then do you have a network card in your PC? if not then sorry but ipx/spx is only for tho's who can actually network...
--windows xp home sp2--
start -> settings -> network connections -> right click local area connection 1 -> properties -> install -> protocal -> nwlink ipx/spx/netbios compatible transport protocal -> ok
if not there then try installing -> nwlink netbios -> then re-perform above steps and if still not there install network card into PC.
hope this helps.

Seriously, though, Rightsider, to switch to TCP/IP protocol in WA, just click on the button which is currently labelled "ISP/SPX". The label should change to "TCP/IP" to indicate that WA is using TCP/IP. Then all your router configuration, etc. should work.

^^ tried that Lex, no luck =[
and the two firewalls include the Windows one, and they are both configured right I think.

Have you scanned your computer for malware? Maybe a trojan horse is sending stuff on 17011?

I'm in the same boat as Rightsider.
I have two firewalls and a router, I've forwarded all the ports, set up the firewalls, and everything.

www.portforward.com is great for routers. It has a page on Worms Armageddon in the Common Ports section.
