Get rid of the firewall stuff. It doesn't really do you any good. The vast majority of system security problems are going to come from you visiting a website, reading your mail, or executing a program. If you don't do any of those things carelessly, chances are the firewall won't be doing you much good...especially if you have an IP that changes every few minutes, like you say.
For most people, the firewalls cause problems just like what you have here. Then, you start getting inside of it to disable things, mess with port forwarding, etc. In the end, you'll probably end up turning off all the protective parts of the firewall anyway to get rid of these types of problems and you'll just be left with a worthless shell of a program that doesn't do much besides slow down your system.

If you are behind a router the your computer have no direct connection to internet.
The router changes your IP number to one the is of no use on the net if it's configd right.
And there might be a firewall in the router.
And if you have a firewall KEEP IT ON. I get about 10 - 20 portscans every day from people trying to get in my computer, all stops at the wall, and most worms are spread from computers without a firewall without the owners knowledge.

Those port scans are more than likely coming from people scanning ports looking for a specific weakness that a trojan has put on your system. If you don't have the trojan, you are fine. Use a firewall if you want, but for the majority of users, they are worse than useless. *shrug* In McGiver's case, his dynamic IP is going to protect him from the majority of port scans because even if he comes up with a weakness, the hackers are scanning thousands of IPs and store them to be exploited later. By that time, he's no longer at the same IP.
If you have a router, mcgiver, then it is a physical thing. It is a box between the internet line coming out of your wall and your PC. If you have this, tell us the model.
Actually, if you *do* have this physical router, forget about configuring your way around it. Just unplug it and hook your internet connection directly to the PC, then validate VDJ. After that, you can hook it back up as it was.

you need to stay online, on the same connection as you are, when contacting e-service.
That would fix the problem :)
If you log off, and on again, your ip have changed
