Ok i think i might be thick, however

i have 3 computers behind a router, and want it so bittorent can be used on all of them

now BT ports are 6881-6889

so for virtual server, port forwarding etc do i set ip up like this??

Rule Name Bittorent pc 1
Private IP 192.168.1.2
Protocol BOTH
Port Start 6881 Port End 6881
Port Map 6881


Rule Name Bittorent pc 2
Private IP 192.168.1.3
Protocol BOTH
Port Start 6882 Port End 6882
Port Map 6882

Rule Name Bittorent pc 3
Private IP 192.168.1.3
Protocol BOTH
Port Start 6883 Port End 6883
Port Map 6883

and if this is right i guess its the same for all p2p progams etc....

What ports you use for BT is up to the software, and doesnt have to be those you specified. Still, you've got the general idea down tho, just make sure you only allow the ports opened for each pc, in the software itself. Else the BT client will still be trying to use the first default port, which may not be open.

You could(and imo should) specifiy a totally different range for the ports, that'd make it easier to keep track of.
