Free Port Forwarding Guides & PFConfig: Forward Your Ports Automatically
Port Forwarding BitTornado on the 2wire 1000s
Since you are reading this guide, I'm going to assume that you have Bit Tornado installed. Open up Bit Tornado.
Close to the top you will see a Prefs link. Go ahead and click that link now.
The Port Range box defines the ports that Bit Tornado will use. These are the ports that you need to forward to your computer. Bit Tornado does not need the full 50,000 ports that come predefined. Go ahead and uncheck the Random checkbox. Enter 10000 into the From box, and enter 10010 into the To box. If you expect to download more than 10 files at the same time, then you should make this range of ports larger.
On this page there is a UPNP Port Forwarding drop down box. Open it up and set that box to disabled. We are not going to use UPNP to forward our ports. Now go find your router on our routers page, and forward the port range you set above.
Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser.
If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router.
By default the IP address should be set to 172.16.0.1.
Click the Firewall button.
Click the Firewall Settings button.
Use the Select a computer box to choose a computer to forward ports to. This box contains a list of computer names that are visible on your network.
Click the Add a new user-defined application link.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. BitTornado requires you to forward the TCP(10000-10010) ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Edit Application menu and then click Add Definition.

Click the Back button.
Select the applications you just created in the Applications list, then click the Add button to move them to the Hosted Applications box.
When you are finished, click the Done button at the bottom of your screen.
And that is it! You are done!
To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
