Firewall Help!

[Akira6790]

Alright, I read that disabling your firewall will reallly help boost your speeds on bittorent. However, when I try to disable the one on my router (linkseys I believe) all hell breaks loose on my laptop and nothing works. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I;m getting tired of the yellow light......

You don't need to turn off your firewall. You just need to open Bittorrent's port range, but it will ask that automatically if you have a good firewall.

What you DO need to do is configure your Linksys router to forward the correct ports. There's a HowTo right HERE (http://klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=88454)

The firewall meant is Windows ICF not the one in your router ;)
