-=-=-=-Port Forwarding for D-Link DSL-502T Router,Complete Procedure for MTNL Users-=-=-=-
Ok people, here is a Tutorial (which is a compilation of many of my searches through google). so I thought of making this tutorial which now covers the MTNL's D-LINK Router model: DSL 502T
Ok, enough of talking now, so lets go straight to the P.O.A (point of action).
================================================================================================
================================================================================================
NOTE-1: I have made use of uTORRENT and D-LINK ROUTER DSL 502T for PORT FORWARDING.
Before we can forward ports for Utorrent, we need to figure out what ports uTORRENT is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that.
a.) Go ahead and open up uTORRENT.
b.) Click OPTIONS in the menu at the top of your screen. In the list that drops down click PREFERENCES.
c.) Click CONNECTIONS on the left hand side of the uTORRENT program. You should now see the menu. Make sure the Enable UPnP box is unchecked. The number in the "Port Used for Incoming Connections" box contains the port you need to forward. You can change the port number, if you want to.
d.) Keep this number written onto a piece of paper ( this number will be used in STEP-2:Port Forwaring in D-LINK ROUTER DSL 502T, point (g)).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, Port Forwarding can improve ur speeds when u download through Torrent clients.
The 2 most critical steps (i say critical, because only the Correct settings will allow you to Forward ports) in PORT FORWARDING are:
1.) Setting up your STATIC IP.
2.) Port Forwaring.
NOTE-2: STEP-1 is important in order to proceed with STEP-2.
You will still hav a Dynamic IP despite setting up a Static IP because your LAN (internal) IP will act as your Static IP.
NOTE-3: Goto Start > Run > cmd > type ipconfig /all > Press "enter key".Note down all the details (on a piece of paper) like:
a.) IP ADDRESS:
b.) SUBNET MASK:
c.) DEFAULT GATEWAY:
d.) DHCP SERVER:
e.) DNS SERVER (also known as NAME SERVER):
f.) HOST NAME:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP-1:Setting up your STATIC IP
I hope people know How to Find your Static IP, for any difficulty
Please goto this link www.portforward.com
To enter your static IP once you have found it out from the above site:
goto START > CONTROL PANEL > NETWORK CONNECTIONS > select the connection which you use for INTERNET > right click and select PROPERTIES > on the GENERAL tab, select TCP/IP and click PROPERTIES >
in the GENERAL tab (again which will come up) > click on "Use the following IP address:" > Enter the STATIC IP(found from the site www.portforward.com) in the IP address field and also enter your Subnet mask, default gateway
(the same numbers from NOTE-3) in their respective fields.
also enter the Preferred and Alternate DNS Server as shown in the picture. Click "OK" all the way out of this menu.
*img7.pictiger.com/9c4/14350853_th.jpg
You have now setup your STATIC IP.
NOTE-4: Please DO NOT copy my IP ADDRESS from the above picture of TCP/IP. It may be different when you find it out from www.portforward.com
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP-2:Port Forwaring in D-LINK ROUTER DSL 502T
a.) Goto *192.168.1.1
b.) Enter login:admin and password:admin
*img7.pictiger.com/3b5/14350847_th.jpg
*img7.pictiger.com/0a8/14350848_th.jpg
c.) Click ADVANCED > LAN CLIENTS > Enter the IP ADDRESS( STATIC IP ADDRESS found from STEP-1:Setting up your STATIC IP)
and HOST NAME (found from NOTE-3:) in their respective fields.
*img7.pictiger.com/278/14350850_th.jpg
d.) Click "ADD".
e.) Goto VIRTUAL SERVER > in the "CATEGORY" click "USER" (as of now the "AVAILABLE RULES" box will be empty).
f.) Click on Add (at the bottom). Give a name to the rule in the rule box.
g.)Enter protocol TCP; then enter the port number (found from NOTE-1:, point (C)) you want forwarded in "Port Start", "Port End" and in the "Port Map" fields (same port number should be in all 3 fields.) > Click APPLY.
g.) Click on VIRTUAL SERVER > Click on the rule name you just entered & click on "ADD" (right side). Click Apply.
h.) Goto Tools > System > Save and Reboot.
i.) Restart your computer. You should have forwarded ports now. Now ur Torrent Client can accept incoming connections & u can get better speeds.

Do tell me how was the Information and if any more pictures are needed to make it more clearer.

Added More screenies for µTORRENT
1.) At first, if you haven't done any PORT FORWARDING on your Router and for µTORRENT for that matter, when you open up µTORRENT for the first time, you will notice a GREEN Exclaimation mark at the bottom of the µTORRENT screen: (see below screenshot and the portion encircled in BLUE):
*img7.pictiger.com/f12/14427093_th.jpg
===========================================================================
2.) Once, you have FORWAREDED the PORT (as given above) and when you again Open µTORRENT, a GREEN tick mark will be present at the same position (bottom of µTORRENT screen,see below screenshot and the portion encircled in BLUE):
*img7.pictiger.com/e0f/14427094_th.jpg
===========================================================================
3.) To check (through µTORRENT) if PORT is FORWARDED or no, goto Options > Speed Guide (shortcut Ctrl+G) > Click on "Test if port is Forwarded Properly". (see below screenshot):
*img7.pictiger.com/fb5/14427095_th.jpg
==========================================================================
4.) If, PORT is FORWARDED properly, you will get a Confirmation page (See below screenshot):
*img7.pictiger.com/4f2/14427097_th.jpg
==========================================================================
5.) To optimise your µTORRENT for better downloading (Yuo may follow the setting as shown below) by going to Options > Preferences > Connections.
