hi, im having a little touble trying to forward some ports (port 6112) but I just don't get it. Am I missing something? Here's what i have done:
checked the guide at portforward.com but then was stumped when i clicked my router (D-Link DIR615) to find the pages to be different.
Here's some pics

I use Linksys but think I can give you three of the four fields, which appears to be all you need:
Start Port = 6112
End Port = 6112
I.P. Address = address of the machine in question
Then click save.
You can find the address of the machine by running the command (CMD) box and typing "ipconfig" without the quotation marks.
The address should look something like 168.192.1.101, for example.
Then test your port is forwarded either using a test w/i your torrent client or on the web (uTorrent tests this for me with it's own utility).

Here's an example (Linksys):

Here is my DIR-655 setup.
application name is in the drop down list 'application name'
You just need to change the IP address to your computers one, use the drop down list "Computer name'
Then change the port that needs forwarding. (both TCP and UDP)
Then enjoy speedy torrentsAttached Files:
