Setting up bit torrent

I use a wireless router and have recently installed uturrent, having followed the workshop in CA I find that now have to access my router and open a port in order to make utorrent work. I have no idea how to do that.


Could someone please help and explain in simple terms what I have to do.

I do not know about utorrent, I use Aureus, they also ask you to open port but its optional.

 

Any how the port is the issue with ur router, nothing to do with torrent.

 

You need  to config your touter to diiver certain port request to the specific machine, and you need fixed IP on that machine, not to use DHCP.

Hello Slurp :)

I found this site to be an expert in regards to opening a port in a router -

http://portforward.com/ 

You need to know your router exact name though.

You can also make it pretty automatic with a software they got -

http://portforward.com/store/pfconfig.htm

I would however suggest you read about the meaning of port forward, router etc'.

Maybe you don't even need it ;)

Good luck!

It couldn't be worse.

To access you router and set up port forwarding: Type the IP address of your router into the address bar of your browser. If you don't know the routers IP address it is probably either: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 You have to enter a password for your router. If you don't know it, you can look up what the default password is in the router's manual or online. When you access the router you need to look for something similar to "port forwarding." You need to forward the port that your torrent client is using to your computer.
