Free Port Forwarding Guides & PFConfig: Forward Your Ports Automatically
Port Forwarding BitTornado on the Apple AirPortExtreme
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.
To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address.
Try our free PF Setup Static IP Address Program which will setup a static ip address for you.
Or you can take alook at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address.
When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter
the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.
Do not skip this step!
Open up the finder on your Mac.
Click the Applications button near the left of the page.
Click the Utilities button near the right of the page.
Click the AirPort Admin Utility button near the right of the page.
Select Apple Base Station from the Select Base Station list.
Click the Port Mapping button near the top of the page.
Click the Add button near the right of the page.
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 10000-10010 ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Port Mapping Add menu and then click Ok.
