    got a zyxel modem from bt for a few months, port forwarding working fine. Installed a dell wireless router on pc now. Its all routed through that now back to my pc through the zyxel, and my port forwarding torrent settings arent working now, is there any option i should be enabling on the zyxel to stop this from happening.?
    thanks

    Your internal IP has probably changed.

    ipconfig to find your new IP

    dont know where to go on the router to do that, the dsl connection goes into the zyxel modem, is then passed through the wireless router, and from there into my pc.

    what torrent client you using?

    do you know the ip of the router try than in a browser see if there is a web app for the router

    Do what murder told you to do.
    Go to start then click on run and type "cmd"
    then a black screen will come up and type ipconfig.
    look for your ip address and then go to the wireless
    router find were you have to open ports and open the
    ports you need using the ip you got from the ipconfig.
    i can nearly 100% say that will work,
    let me know if it does.

    my internal ip address of pc has indeed changed, i updated the zyxel modems port forwarding settings to the new ip but still the same. I dont know how to get the ip of the router to get into its options. any ideas?
    thanks

    Listen put the Zyxel modem back to the ip that u had used before.
    now forward the pors on the wireless router to the new ip.
    you should not have to change anything on your zyxel modem.
    let us know if it works.
