Problems With Linksys Router And Torrenting


Recommended Posts

Ok does anybody know if the Linksys WRT54G V5 router limits outgoing connections or something? Iv noticed that I cannot acess webpages or connect to games when I have bittorrent running. This never used to happen when I was connected to my old wifi router but its happening now with a direct connection to the router.

You may need to call the number MrBill provided above but i'm just wondering if you have forwarded ports under "Applications & Gaming" in the setup page for the Bittorrent client you are using and the computer you're using it on?

Of course Iv done that. The torrenting itself is working fines it just that I cannot open up new connections to servers from anything. For example lets say I was connected to the AIM server. When I turn on bittorrent AIM will stay connected but if I then try MSN it wont connect. Or if i try acessing a webpage the connnection will just time out.
