Port forwarding on Eircom Wireless router

peterk19

I can find any information on Port Forwarding on the eircom Wireless Router (Router Name Netopia Model: 3347NWG)
The Instructions on the Portwarding website for the 3300 series are different so if anyone has any info for this it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

If you're on the new firmware from eircom I think you have to set the firewall to low as well

Azureus? 6881 for the Base Host Port and 6881 to 6999 for the Global Port Range, AFAIK

for a program that requires 1 port open your recommending opening how many?

:rolleyes:

WellyJ

1 port for each torrent you are currently using, i would open 2-3 at the most, nothing as crazy as that

Chalk

on azureues its just 1 port for all torrents.
most other clients require 1 per torrent.
