I use a wireless connection and get up to 600 KiB/s off it. Wireless is no slower than a wired machine, as far as the internet goes (assuming your connection is reliable, of course). At least, in my experience.
As to your port reporting itself as closed, make sure the router's internal IP it's forwarding to (192.168.1.10x, probably) matches the current IP your system has. If you don't know how to get your current IP, open up the Command Prompt (Start > Run > cmd), and use ipconfig. Failing that, make sure any security software you use, such as an anti-virus or firewall, is not blocking the port. If you use AVG Plus Firewall, Kerio, or Zone Alarm (among other programs), you will need to open the port in them as well. Are you using any security software like the above mentioned? Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I have not messed with Windows Firewall in so long, but try (temporarily) disabling it and heading on over to GRC and using their Shields Up! service to test your ports?
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Stealth means your port is closed and not responding to outside requests (this may mean your router, or your computer, is just dropping packets outright). This is not my area of expertise, though, so I cannot be sure.
Did you disable Windows Firewall? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
