Could be as it's in your cache fella.

Try using the upload option here on the forum for a copy of the picture (won't be available in the Quick Reply, do a normal Add Reply).

Alternatively, what router do you have?

Ere Is The New Picture Of My Router Page i basically want to open the ports n stuff so i can have better speed on bit torrent and etc. ports open to dc++ and all other stuff that every1 knows. but i dont have a clue wat to do.

[superkully]

In the 'TCP/UDP Port Filter' section, select 'forward', 'range' if you want a range of ports to be forwarded and 'single' if you just want a single one. Then enter the beggining and end of the range, or just the one port number twice in the next two boxes. Then select either TCP or UDP depending upon what traffic will be coming into that port and then click the cross just underneath with 'add' positioned over it....

errr... what were you having problems with?

[mrsinghstyla]

dunno which ports to open for bit torrent and i did em a while back with FORWARD and did TCP and all websites stopped working but internet connection still worked

[Super Stu]

What a poorly devised port forwarding screen. Just by reading that, I can't make end or tail of the top bit, wherein you're wanting to state the IP address of your PC on the lan (probably 198.168.0.something).

As for the bottom bit though, set it to:

- Filter
- Range
- 6881 to 6999 (covers it all)
- both TCP and UDP (I think - can't hurt to do both)

[mrsinghstyla]

i did the forward n that range n etc on UDP as it stopped ma webpages loading on TCP but now i get a error..(some tracker message) on bit torrent when i try n download? and it dont work afta that.

Not sure then mate, I'd consult the manual for your router. It certainly shouldn't stop web traffic working, so something has gone wrong there.

The basic information you need is thus:

From: any wan IP
To: your local lan IP (start -> run, type IPCONFIG [enter] to find this out)
Ports: 6881 thru 6999 tcp/udp

to be adapted to each router setup.
