keldron Posted February 10, 2006 CID Share Posted February 10, 2006 Ok so I bought Belkin 4 port Cable / DSL Gateway Router Model# F5D5231-4 And I noticed that my bittorent speed went down badly ... I used to get 120kB/sec ( or more ) and now if I get 8kB/sec it's like top speed I heard people saying something about port forwarding and disabling my firewall but I have no idea how to do it or even where to start ... if anybody could help me I would appreciate that .

Ryan314 Posted February 10, 2006 CID Share Posted February 10, 2006 try typing your ip into internet explorer... your routers home page should come up.. from there look for.. security or.. gaming options or DMZ.. once you find dmz click enable.. it should ask you for the last number of your ip type that in only thing is you should get a firewall because enabling the DMZ will leave you totally open to the internet - another option would to find out the ports bittorrent requires to be open try going to www.portforward.com click your router and look for bittorrent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
