cryxtalz: when you purchased your router, the instructions inside must tell you how to get to your router configuration page. (usually, you would use your browser and go to ip address 192.168.x.x and enter your username/pwd - make sure you change the pwd).
once you are at the router config page, you can fwd your ports. i have a feeling you're not too comfortable w/ this, so find out exactly what make/model your router is, then go to: www.portforward.com they have step-by-step instructions on how to forward your ports.
hope that helps.

| Cryxtalz: On my loooooong post there is a section that deals with setting up a PC to use a static IP nr. So look it up for that. Seconds your router should have an option to use DHCP(Sometimes also called Automatic) to obtain both the IP number and DNS numbers from your ISP. Most likely this is allready set correctly cause otherwise you wouldn't be able to connect to the internet at all.

A) you're not unless you install one and B) well thats not quite true. Mac OS X or 10 is however not quite Mac anymore though. It's Unix based and thereby closer to Linux than Mac once was. Or so I have received my tech manuals updated anyway. Not that I care much for either Mac nor Unix myself.
Now depending on how close to Linux/Unix it came, you could check out a firewall thats called Smoothwall. I hear thats a really good one and for the PC users using Zonealarm, when you do a security scan of your PC ZA will tell the world it's smoothwall and not ZA.

Check out the online references given by many BT coders, both in the guides provided by ruroshin here and the ones available at places such as Sourceforge.net
Since BT is open source, that should be a good place to look for details about how things work as well._________________  soon to be updated again... |

Double check that you have HTML input to your router through your locak NAT range.
That is, you can log in to your router by going to 192.168.0.1 or whatever your routers internal IP is.
Specify in the PortForward a range or a specific port 6881 as you have.
Make sure your local machines firewall is open for the same port and very importantly allows your bittorrent access both as server and client.
If you use Zonealarm, you could do this by allowing your client access in Programs settings for all trusted as client and server and for internet access as client to any IP.
Then specify your router IP as trusted IP.
I did this with Azureus and it works fine but the other hinch here is, you're on XP.
I cannot run Azureus as reliable as on W2K from my XP box. I believe it has to do with the NAT (internal network management) and how XP handles this compared to W2K.

JUNK... the ISP you are using doesn't want to release the info because they a) dont want unjustified routing through recursive dns lookups from non users, and b) theire lazy.
Go for a looksee at www.open-rsc.org and pull a IP number from those guys to use instead. They provide so-called open root DNS servers for free and will allow you to route from anywhere._________________ soon to be updated again... |

I did the port forwarding for 6881-6889. However, I notice no change in dl/ul speeds and it failed the Nat Check. What am I doing wrong? I am using a microsoft wireless router with firewall with a dsl connection.
My download and upload speed never is more than 1-5 kb/s unless I'm at a public wifi station which then can go up to 30 kb/s (at most). But even at the high speed, it often just stops and slows down to 1 kb/s or 0. I never have a green light - always yellow (even at the public wifi stations). Can someone clue me in?

sukyong: nowadays, port range for bt is 6881 to six-nine-nine-nine (6999). which client are you using? in bittornado, if you click on prefs, you will notice that the range (6881-6999) is randomized. therefore, the torrent may have used something like 6993 and would not have been forwarded.
do you have any firewalls installed?

I saw that when using bittornado, I wonder why they want to randomized it?? Anyway, either change your setting in Bittornado down to 6881-6889 and turn off randomizing or increase your port range forwarding in your router.
If you're using a firewall as well make sure those same ports are open.

Thanks guys! I am using bittornado so I changed the preference on it to only use 6881-6889 and not to randomize. I do have a firewall so I added those ports to the "exception" list...right now I'm not seeing a dramatic change but maybe it takes time to see any real difference? I'll let it run and will report back later.
Thanks again!

I don't think I understand this whole port thing. I have 3 bittornado downloads going. I used the hash id on each one and tested on the nat check to see if it passed. Only 1 passed on port 6885 and the other 2 had "most likely configured properly but failed to find the correct hash id" results on 6885.
I thought each download was suppose to use a different port so why are all 3 on 6885? Is this why only the download that "passed" has the higher speed than the other 2?

did you put in a different port number each time you tried that check? Make sure the correct port number and the correct hash id is entered when using the nat check.

currently my download speed is around 1kbps-8kbps (which is soooo painfully SLOW) and my upload speed is around 5kbps-14kbps... i'm using the official BT client v3.2.1
