Hi,

I'm not sure if this is XP specific but ...
I would like to set my system to port forward. Is there free or
cheap software that will do this? I tried the procedure given
on portforward.com but it didn't work. Portforward.com software
offering seems a bit pricey for what it does.

I have my desktop set to seed torrents (it passed 1TB seeded
last week) but it needs port forwarding to seed private
torrents. It also needs a static IP for web access to out file
server (Buffalo Pro Duo). So far I keep on the private sites'
good side with money donations.

OS: XP Pro, SP3
Router: Linksys WRT54G

Thanks,
Gary

How can a software set up port forwarding when every router
manufacturer each make the internal control differently?

????? Port forwarding is done on the router so you don't need any extra
software to do this. Set the static IP on your computer from Local Area
Network Properties for your network adapter.
