 H-> hello every one,
 H-> i'm the sysop of friends of bill w bbs aka kcvwdoc. I have moved and am
 H-> sharing an isp account and just setup a netgear router un XP and i can
 H-> get out. but my bbs will not bind to the ports. I did go into the
 H-> router setup and forward the ports that sbbs uses but none will bind
 H-> except the ftp port. any ideas what i have wrong?

With the limited information you gave, I'd have to say you have something local
running on your computer that is interfereing.  

Try this, shut down your BBS, bring up a command prompt/dos shell and type in
telnet localhost 23 or telnet localhost 25, etc... until you check each of your
ports needed for the BBS.  Now, after each command, if you get a connection,
that means something is running there.  It should also tell you what that
program is.

Hope that helps.
