    Port fowarding (which ones should be open?)

    My computer is connected wirelessly to a router and as a result bit tornado/direct connect etc don't work.

    ******Is this because I need to open ports??

    If so, then would this effect my ability to use proxys or would those ports already be open?

    How do I open them for bit tornado etc? Someone spoon feed me please.

    Thankyou

    what router have you got rossy?

    find it on this list and click on it.

    you should get a rather handy set of instructions on how to open up the right ports if needed :)

    no fucking way, this cant be the same thing im struggling with today. if so, what a coincidence.

    basically i download loads of torrents, for the last week i got shitloads of films etc...

    then today...

    every time utorrent runs...

    it disconnects my net. over and over and over.

    check if you've put that tartan clad throw (9.99 from roseby's) over it, if you have you definately have overheated it, that much scottish fabric can be too much for electronics mate :king:

    turns out mine was actually to do with this port forwarding malarky.

    followed a guide online and sorted it out
