Problems with bittorrent and Router

[fatetheory]

I have the Linksys Wireless-B 2.4GHZ Broadband Router Model # BEFW11S4 Version 4
Firmware version 1.52.02

I tried looking at the help for Azureus and portforward.com for the router and tried to follow the instructions, it said to configure the 6881 port in the port range forwarding which i did, Im not certain if my Ip Address is correct but im pretty sure because its the one the router assigned to me.

I suggest that you forward from the port 6881 to 6889 and it worked wonders for me. When you test the 6881 in Azureus it might will fail but you will still get the green smiley face and btw test port 6882 and U should find that it'll work after configuring the port forwarding.

PM me if you need any in depth guide. I'm tired and am going to bed. Elsewise ATOT's going to help ya.

Type 'ipconfig' at the command prompt to find out your IP. I'd recommend using a static IP unless you get the same DHCP one everytime. Otherwise next time you turn on your computer the port may be forwarded to an address that is not yours. Supposedly you should pick a port that isn't the default one. You can specify in your Azureus settings what this is, then just forward this port to your static IP. I don't think there's much else to it then this. I don't believe you need to forward a range of ports.
