*image.blog.bitcomet.com/postpic/20080122/3444799_dgafvr080122055703.png
have googled for solutions and now this is what i have come across...
Note this is for Bitcomet Client You can also do the same with other Clients.
Well... here's a step by step guide that maybe can help you turn that
yellow light if you do it right... This guide is for BitComet v0.98
(it might work with all versions) and Windows XP...
If you got something other than XP then you figure this out yourself...
First of all... get the new version of BitComet v0.98 here...
After finished installing BitComet open the Options Menu...
And then set your 'Listen Port' above '40000'...
For this guide I'll use '60000' and you can use that port too
if you like... Moving on...

Set your 'Global Max Upload Rate' (depends on your line speed)
The higher the better but not too high...
For this guide I'll set it to '36' 'kB/s' because I got a 512 'kb/s'
upload line speed..
Usually if you got a 512 'kb/s' upload speed you need to divide it to 8
and then set it to 80% of your calculated speed in there but the
easiest way to do it is to divide it by 10 and you got your optimal
speed in 'kB/s' So if my upload speed is 512 'kb/s' then devide it by 10
then I got 51 'kB/s' right... Now you ask me why I put 36 'kB/s' here
right? This is why...You can test your upload speed here... Make sure
you close all open applications that use internet connectivity before
you run the Speed Test to get an accurate line speed...
When I tested my line speed there I got 360+ 'kb/s' so I divide it by 10
then I got it 36 'kB/s' Did you notice the 'kb/s' and 'kB/s' it's the
letter 'b' and 'B' so... 'b' means 'bit' and 'B' means 'Byte'...
see the different? the Speed Test use 'bit' and BitComet use 'Byte'...
After that... get going...

Follow and set with the above options... I'm so lazy to key in all the
options name here... That's it for the BitComet configurations...
After this you have to set your router settings... Coming up next...
Now... moving on to the router settings... Make sure you close
your BitComet before you do this..
if not you can find your router type and set it here depends on your
router type... Select your router type and follow the link...
then choose 'BitComet' in the page link there and follow the instructions
for your router settings...
For the other type of router model please follow this link and choose
your exact type of router model and follow the instructions here...

Open up your web browser and enter your router IP Address in the
Address box... If you don't know your IP then open a 'DOS/Command Prompt'
if you don't know what a 'DOS/Command prompt' is then you don't have
to set anything just close this and burn your PC...
In your 'DOS/Command prompt' key in 'ipconfig' and you'll get something
like this...
*image.blog.bitcomet.com/postpic/20080120/3444799_nruswp080120021355.png
Can you see your IP Address now? '192.168.1.3' that's it...
Default Gateway... that's your router address...
For this guide it is '192.168.1.1' maybe you got another IP... (memorized it)
Now open up your web browser and enter your router IP Address in
the Address box... Enter your username... then your
password...

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 *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 192.168.1.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default both the username and password are adminb. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.
Click the Advanced Setup link near the left side of the page.
You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click NAT.

check in your BitComet and see if you got a remote connections...
If you got it then your router has been configured correctly and your
port has been forwarded succesfully...

Last thing to do... Open your BitComet... If it doesn't get the GREEN light
that you've been dreaming about then open your windows firewall and
check the settings...
Start -> Control Panel -> Windows Firewall... See below...

*image.blog.bitcomet.com/postpic/20080120/3444799_pqmdjq080120011920.png
If you didn't get something like that then just DISABLE your firewall and
you're done... And you can stop dreaming now because you got your
GREEN light now...
AND FINALLY
