Port Forwarding

[Laddey]

Hi all, again. Have any of you had experience with forwarding ports? This is my first time doing this and i'm struggling.

I've recently gone to virgin 10mb (yesterday) and all my downloads have dropped, dramatically!

cHo told me a list of things to do and now im at the bottom. Configuring my router. I've googled, asked jeeves asked everybody on my msn and so forth but no success, you guys are my last hope.

I'm trying to forward port 50000 with the EPC2100R2 router, i've tried using PFconfig but it aint compatible with my router, tried googling but no joy.

Any of you had to do it with this router?

can you post a screenshot of the setup menu ?`cba to google one

There is no setup, the guy plugged it in and vista detected it automatically. I've tried entering my Default Gateway IP in the www bar and it isn't detected. Thats what i need to do to configure it i think

maybe you can only configure it from the wan site , i know some danish isp's run with that an they take like 150£ for opening ports for you ..

I don't think its that. Surely i should be able to open access ports to my own pc
