Port forwarding = when you tell the firewall built into the router to use a particular port or set of ports to send traffic to a specific computer on your network via an internal IP ie: 192.0.0.2 etc
UPnP = Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.Ray
Some Advice.. Its always advisable to inform your old ISP as soon as you have migrated that you have moved.

thanks newsreader and wheelie!
one thing. i see that upnp is turned on in my router settings BUT in azureus configuration i click TEST when testing the port and it fails. i mean azureus still downloads so i don't undertand what the point of this port listening test is in the setup.Last edited by Blue; 29-11-06 at 05:57 PM.
