408619 2005-11-29 10:26:00 What programme and router are you using?

Have a look at PortForward.com (www.portforward.com), it has a list of of programmes and routers that you match up with, instructions specific to the combo you're using.


Edit:

1/ The link above is a bit premature, click on the "Home" link at the tip left first, have a read, you'll end up back at the link given above.

2/ Don't bother with poert Trigger(ing).

3/ Are you using Azureus? If so, 6881, apparently isn't the best port to use. Follow the instructions, read from the first page onwards, which gives a tutorial of sorts and links to others.

End is the last of the range e.g port 100

Example above gives us a range of ports from 80 to 100
e.g 80,81,82 -> 98,99,100

I think Private Port is the port which you designate to enter your computer

Use TCP or UDP based on what the program needs

Host IP is your IP address of the computer your using.

Sorry if it sounds complicated, I need caffiene NOW

408621 2005-11-29 10:39:00 You could give this (silvertech.co.nz) a try, the ??? is the address of the computer you want the port/s open to.

You can put a range in start and end point.
