How to cahnge port or set port??

[stos289]

I believe so...but I'm not completly sure. I still don't know what you mean by changing. Does it go from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.0 for example? Or does it it completly change its number totally? If that happens, it could be some kind of program you have that does that or the router itself which would be very strange. Get back to me on that.

Hello. I'm having a problem with Bittorrent as well regarding download speeds (highest ever was 23 Kbps) though I continually upload at 20-23 Kbps (so I upload more than I have downloaded...that's not right). I got a 1.6 Mbps downstream with a 25.6 Kbps Upstream. I know how to get to my router page (I just type in speedstream). My DSL provider is Citizens Frontier, and my router is Hawking PN400TP. However, when I go to server ports, I'm just given the options of HTTP, FTP, and Telnet. I'm not wise in these matters. Can you help me as well?

I'm downloading azureus as well right now. Hope that will speed things up.

Well, from what I have read and seen, the PN400TP by Hawking is not a router, but a 4 port 10 base hub. So you really can't port forward a hub since it only links computers together, it doesn't really have an internet connection. If you could tell me what type of router you have (D-Link, Linksys, Netgear, etc.), then I can give you a step by step guide on how to port forward. Hope I could help.

Ok, the only thing I have with Netgear on it is a Ethernet Hub, EN 104TP. But is that just a hub as well? I use a Speedstream modem from Effecient Networks if that helps.

Well, what you just gave me really doesn't help. I checked the Citizens Frontier website, and I saw that they have bundles with Linksys Routers. Maybe you have a Linksys router? Hubs are completly different than routers. If you could find out what type of router you have (or even if you have one), tell me and I'll try to help.

I don't have a router then. >.< So is there any other way for me to open those ports?

[stos289]

Well, the only thing else that you can port forward is a firewall. If you have a firewall (Windows XP, Zonealarm, Mcaffe, etc.), tell me and I'll give you a step by step guide on how to forward the ports in your firewall. Hope I could help.
