If I download say a patch or driver that is available via Bit Torrent then I do so using the BitComet client.

Obviously it runs much quicker when the listen port (currently set to 8042) is forwarded in my router.

The problem I have is because there are 4 pc's connected to my router my IP will sometimes change (I think it depends on the order in which they are powered up) so my PC does then not have the port forwareded to it.

What's the best way about this? Static IP's?

Port Triggering? I played with this but couldnt get it to function.

Router is a Netgear RP614 v3 (latest firmware)

Cheers,

I have a weird problem now.

This has only occured since installing my new Netgear router.

MSN is unable to connect and I cannot receive any email.

If i restart the router then the problem goes away for a short while but keeps returning.

The router is much faster than the Linksys, web pages load instantly now so it would be a shame to have to remove it.

Any ideas?
