Re: U Torrent Port Forwarding Problem

EchoesOfZepp, when portforward talks about having a static IP, it is talking about a *local* static IP - the one your router sees you as. Usually your connection comes into the router and then the router is connected to several computers in the house. In order for it to know which computer wants what pages, it gives you all local IPs that look like (usually) 192.168.1.xxx. That is the IP that portforward talks about needing to be static.

Here is the guide to do this on Windows Vista: http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-vista.htm
