You need to make sure its forwarded on your router and there is an exception written for your firewall...

aZk.

i had a netcomm once and it was not possible to get it working properly with torrents. can't remember the exact problem, but it was something like a problem with port forwarding only allowing 10 connections in per port. or maybe it could only forward 10 ports. but anyway, all torrents went ridiculously slow. i did a lot of research and the problem could not be fixed on that router. that was the first and last time i will ever buy a netcomm product.

yeah im thinking the same thing. i had a d-link before, no dramas, went to netcomm as i got a laptop and it was cheapish, never again. their customer service sucks big time as well.
