"Thats it? Aww, i thought there would be more sarcasm in your post sad.gif rofl.gif"

hehehe -- sorry to disapoint, but my warning level is a bit high, so I have to play "extra" nice for awhile ;) hehehe

people take offense to anything too quickly but if these warners were smart they would simply not read what you have to say(which is really useful info so no reason to warn you)

You know the EVID hack can be used to open more ports for a botnet or spam, too, right?

yah - I thought about just that after I posted -- but am too lazy to change it -

Because I thought of all the idiots on piratebay and isohunt who complain about "My Norton (or AVG) says the keygen is a trojan !! " and I wanted to choke him and kick a kitten in the eyeball :D

- I didnt want to confuse the issue - I knew if I mentioned that - my point would get muddled and I would be throwing another variable into the argument which would undoubtedly confuse the guy :)

Great guide! Ok, my wife bought a LinkSys wireless router (T-Mobile Hotspot@home) to work with her laptop (wireless) and connect the phone to. I also have the regular LInksys Router for regular ethernet connections (yes...two routers). To get good d/l speeds for torrents, do you have to port forward both routers? Do this mean I have to disconnect the wireless one, enable port forwarding on it, and connect it back again....and disconnect the regular ethernet Linksys router, enable port forwarding on it, and connect it too??

"(yes...two routers)"

Well there is your problem -- if your having issues with port forwarding, your most likely behind a double nat.. You have no need of 2 nat devices (routers).

What you needed to add wireless to your network is a accesspoint.. You can turn any wireless router into a access point.

You then control the ports inbound to your network at your gateway router - or just let UPnP do it for you if you want.. But having 2 nat devices between you and the internet is going to cause issues with ports being open.

Yes it is possible to forward the port to the wan port of the 2nd router, and then forward the traffic at the second router -- but it make more sense to remove the double nat.. Plus there can be other issues with double natting vs just port forwarding.
