hey i hv faced this problem..........and found solution to that
so i want to share it with u all.........

there is another method of port forwarding.......thats with telnet.
Go run>type telnet
open the host connection(in my case its 192.168.x.x) by simply typing o 192.168.x.x >
type login : admin (might b different )
pass : admin
the main menu will appear
here u can see all the settings about ur network connection too....
select option 6 : NAT
select option 1: virtual server (if u want to open one port only..)
or select 2 : DMZ (but this will open all ur port making ur firewall weak, then must use some other strong firewall like comodo)

i used virtual server
then select add (option 1)
enter the details :
service name: abc (anything u want)
protocol : udp & tcp
external start/end: the port address u want to open for that application(check the port used by ur application like utorrent) : 61000
internal start/end :same as above
ip add : 192.168.x.x (get it from cmd>ipconfig)

all done:!::!:
now save & reboot using option 12 in the main menu..........
now check in the application whether port forward is ok or not..........

i have done this for utorrent........!!:D:p
thnx to paroh too......he helped me a lot :):)
it will definitely increase ur utorrent download speed.......:D

I use my modem in Bridging mode so never felt the need of Port forwarding. if I'm not wrong then its needed in case of an active firewall or PPPoE mode i.e. Direct connection no dialing, but do correct me if I'm wrong and also tell me whether forwarding my ports gonna have any effect on my DL or UL speeds?

Edit your Post and remove exact values of your IP address. Format it like: 192.xxx.xx.xx

thnx buddy.....
@plasma_snake...
as per my knowledge....yes u need port forwarding only in case u have an active firewall......and yes ofcourse, it increases ur download speed.......as there is no restriction for the incoming connection through that particular port so the applicaion using that port will download contents faster......!!!
im xperiencing it......:):)

So how do I port forward my UT300R2U modem?

^^ check if ur router is listed at www.portforward.com and then u can follow instructions.. :)
----------

Yup, PF is needed for active firewall and PPPoE type of connections...
PF is a method of specifying a dedicated port number so that the port itself remains a as a permanent open connection for other PEERS (computers on the BiTtorrent n/w) to commnunicate with u (i.e with ur Computer) hence the upload speed imporves and since the P2P community works on sharing, ur D/load speeds also increase eventually (coz of the imporvement of ur u/l speeds as by having a dedicated port singled out jus for P2P peer usage..) :)
----------------

I hv already PFded my D-Link ADSL router (model DSL 502T) and now i get a constant d/l speed of 200-210 kbps on my 256 kbps MTNL triband BB connection.. :)

Vista's cmd prompt doesn't recognizes Telnet as a valid command or a directory or a batch file so no running it.

Do this to enable telnet in vista

Go to ControlPanel>Programs>Programs and Features> now on left u can see "Turn windows features on or off" click that, in that list find telnet at the last and enable it from there(tick),wait for some time, now u can run telnet from run menu.

@Plasma

Are you in bridged or pppoe mode? if you are running over bridge, then you dont need port forwarding. If in pppoe, you need port forwarding.

Install or Enable the telnet program if Vista does not provide one by default.

Here's a helper guide: *www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1793/vista_install_telnet_client/

If its still not possible via telnet, find an alternative firmware that has better options.

run->cmd->telnet 192.168.1.1 ->user name password then type help it will show u available command. Some think like this

*img525.imageshack.us/img525/2725/telnetqj0.jpg

Or try pr.itdude technique it will open ur router front page but all the advance features will be display like advanced setup in which u can see nat under nat virtual server and DMZ host.

Note: First clean ur internet explorer History cookies etc same do with firefox then try this *192.168.1.1/main.html
