What am I looking for at bt.etree?

Under "Peers" on that link you can click [see full list] and you should notice your ip addy there with some 'xxx' marks to hide your final ip numbers. The port number is shown there too and if there are parenthesis around it you are firewalled. On the home page there are some instructions for that. http://bt.etree.org/index.php We'll get you flowing.

Yeah, it looks like I am firewalled...

Log into your firewall and take a picture or something like that. Do you have paint shop? I'll start looking up windows firewall because I'm rusty with that.

It looks like my DI-604 can only forward 1 port at a time.
Does that mean I'm screwed for BT?

That doesn't sound right. That's the main job of the router, it blocks crap it lets you control ports. I'll look for the manual.

Meanwhile, do you have windows XP? Check for software firewall: start->control_panel, double-click "local area connection" Advanced Tab, is there some Protect blah blah checked?



Edit: I found the manual, no need to take a picture, stand by....

Edit again: There looks to be a place where you can specify a range of ports. I downaded a manual from here http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=62&pv=16

In the configuration software, hit the "advanced" tab and the "Virtual Server" button. In there, create a new service and specify a range of ports using the hyphen to join them. I'ts on page 23 and 24 of the manual. I see you live in Colorado, you can call me if you like in the springs, 719-520-9283.

Edit again fat figered the number fixed now.

Same as what the others have said.

Here's how you do it.
1) Right click the 2 little monitors icon (wireless network connection )in the right corner of the screen and select "Status"
2) Under the "support" tab write down the numbers for IP address and Default gateway.
3) type the default gateway number into your address line of your internet browser
4) the username and password are the same: admin
5) select the applications and gaming tab
6) in the 1st line type in

applic              start      end     protocol          ip address        enable
------                -------      -----     -----------          --------------        ---------
anyname          6881     6999     tcp              xxx.xxx.x.___      check

the last three numbers of the ip address should match the ip address that you wrote down in step 1 (the address for the computer that you want to forward these ports to).


If you are running norton internet security you will have do something similar in that program as well.
