741349 2009-01-23 03:34:00 Quick note before I try again :D

Is it sweet for me to put my real settings in here? That'll make it easier for us.

ie,

IP Address: 10.1.1.25
Subnetmask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 10.1.1.1

DNS servers 203.96.152.4
203.96.152.12

Because some of my setting are different than yours. When I tried to change to
What seemed more similar to yours, internet connection failed.

If it's safe to put on my settings, I will show you what I have and what I have tried. And
Obviously I need to restart my computer for the changes to take affect?

I have not done this as it takes 10 minutes to shut down, start up and actually be usable ever
Since I installed anti-norton!! sooo frustrating!

Also, I have previously tried the legal torrents, the same issue applies :)

You could spend all year, trying to get it to work

There's 10-20 posts in here, with people who have tried to do the same thing. It never worked

741352 2009-01-23 04:30:00 It's so frustrating only being able to download .01 - 5 kb/s

I'm off for dinner now, but any further advice would be truly appreciated :)

741353 2009-01-23 08:28:00 If I've read this right, I think a lot of your problem stems from having 2 router devices in series, so your port forward has to work through both.

Something else to try:

Does your modem support a DMZ? This basically means that it automatically forwards any traffic to one (IIRC, the DSL-302g only has 1 anyway?) LAN port. The router is then responsible for all firewalling. This should make it possible to just enable your port forwarding in the router. You may even be able to switch on uPnP in the router (& uTorrent) to enable randomised ports, etc, without any port forwarding once you have the DMZ set up.

If the modem doesn't support DMZ, then you could try just forwarding all ports to the router's WAN address (port range 0 [1?] to 65535) to simulate the same thing.

741354 2009-01-24 05:09:00 Here is what you need to do / try.

On the wireless router:
Disable the DHCP server.
Set the WAN interface to Auto / DHCP for its IP address NOT set it manualy.
Set the IP address for the LAN to an address in the same subnet as your DSL modem / router.
Unplug the network cable that goes to the DSL modem / router from the WAN port and plug it into one of the LAN ports.

On the PC running utorrent:
Assign it a stitic IP address on the same subnet as the ADSL modem / router. Be sure to set the DNS and gateway as needed.

On the ADSL modem / router:
Put required port forwards in place to the IP address of PC running utorrent.

Let us know how you get on.
