Well I want to forward ports 2350 and the portforward site doesnt realy help.
Problem is that they show a Marconi modem yet when I check under properties its called Marvell Yukon 8800 somthing.
Now on the setup page provided by telkom there is no virtual server option but it does have a port forwarding tab,problem is it looks nothing like the Marconi one and tells me everything I do is wrong.

Phone Telkom for help and they say sorry we only deal with connection issues try calling Marconi.
So I did and after telling them it is a mega100wr they say they cant help either because they are not the manufacturers and I should try the number on the back of the modem.

The number is 0860224357 and belongs to a company called 2C.
Would you beleive it beep.beep.beep.beep an so on thats all that number does no matter what time you call.

Seems to me anything involving Telkom just leads to a black pit of dispair with no answers and pass the buck.
 
Yeah I mentioned port forward.
After going through old posts think it was page six a guy mentioned port forwarding.
It had some jpegs of how it is done and they are the same as the screen I get.
So from what I see there I should click the user tab then new and simply enter the port numbers I want and it should work.
He was doing it for somthing else and I want to use it for a game and seeing as user is the only tab that lets you do anything I guess its the right place.

Guess I will find out later.
 
Thanks I think bridge mode might have been the problem.
It works now.
Thanks for the help.:D
 
Remember bridged mode = no NAT firewall so make sure your software one is working 100%.
 
Give me the step by step portforwarding to mega100wr

in10sive, you seem to have gone through the pain. Please take some time and tell me how to portforward from my Mega100WR (for use with uTorrent). I've also gone the portforward.com route and the guide is reasonable up until it fails to return protocol, port start, port map, port end schpiel. I'm connecting via USB, not Ethernet, but I doubt if that is relevent.

Cheers
 
port forwarding

You're a mamba ! uTorrent reports that the port chosen opens and forwards correctly. Now solve my speed problem - when downloading a torrent file I get only 0.1kB/s - ha ha. A standard dsl test gives me 40kB/s fine.

I received an error opening windows firewall 0x80040154 and have disabled it under my Internet options, but I have still got a snail here.

thanx so far, though.
 
Firstly have you got port encryption enabled in utorrent?
