Port Forwarding for the Zoom X4 5551


What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?




 

BitComet chooses a random port to listen on when you install it. Before we can forward ports for BitComet, we need to find out what port BitComet is using. Go ahead and open BitComet.



In the menu at the top of your screen, click Options. Clicking Options will cause a menu to drop down. In this new menu click Preferences.



In the menu on the left the top option Connection should be selected. On the right hand side of this window you should see a Listen Port option. That is the port that you need to forward. You can change it if you like. Please enter the listen port below.

BitComet's Listen Port:

There is one more thing we need to do. We need to shut off the UPNP of BitComet.



In the menu on the left hand side under Advanced, click Connection. There should be an Enable UPnP Port Mapping(XP only) checkbox on the right hand side. Make sure it is unchecked.

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look 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 a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 10.0.0.2.




You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is zoomadsl. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.




Click the Advanced Setup button near the top of the page.




Click the NAT button near the center of the page.




Select NAT Option from the NAT Rule Entry drop down box.


Click the Add button near the bottom of the page.
