Have they placed or given you a router at your end?
If yes then which brand & model,accordingly you'll have to configure it from the router web configuration page.
If not then I'm afraid the only thing you could do is call up the ISP technical support & ask them to open ports for the appropriate application which in this case is Bittorrent.

1. Login to the router/modem using Internet Explorer.
2. Advanced --> Virtual Server.
3. Giva a name to the rule in the rule box, enter private IP, enter protocol TCP/UDP/Both, then enter the ports you want forwarded in port start and port end accordingly, in the port map add a port through which you want all your traffic mapped generally within the range. For bittorrent set range of 6880-6881, with 6881 as traffic mapping port. Click Apply.
4. Tools --> System --> Save and Reboot.
5. When its rebooted, goto Advanced --> Filters. Select Inbound Filters.
6. In Source IP, select Any IP from dropdown box. In destination IP select Single IP from Dropdown box, and enter your IP there.
7. In Source port, depending on whether you need a range or a single port, select relevant then enter the port(s) into the field. Do the same for the Destination port(s).
8. In Protocol select what you entered in the Virtual Server Rule, TCP/UDP/Both accordingly.
9. Set Action to Allow. Click Apply. When the rule appears click the Enable checkbox.
10. Goto, Tools --> System --> Save & Reboot.
11. Restart your machine, you should have forwarded ports now.
im guessing most of you guys will be on d link routers , so here you go

dmz is risky business and is not recommended

dmz is risky business and is not recommended
DMZ stands for Demilitarised zone and should not be risky if your windows firewall is turned on.Also its the only way to get less than 50 pings to game servers with triband and also dload with p2p or bitcomet to the full potential of your connection.
sorry for double post waz havin prob with naviscope

Whoa people recommending DMZ for a home user here !
I say having a DMZ & getting 0wNeD go hand in hand.In no way is it recommended for a home user.It will completely expose your computer directly to the internet which obviously means more chances of getting 0wNeD which otherwise would have your router as the membrane,blocking unwanted ports scans,requests & attacks.
If you are more concerned about ping times & p2p software then get in touch with the ISP technical care & ask them to open specific ports for your applications to work for p2p as this sounds logical & practical.As far as getting ping times is concerned then I believe there are various factors to look at.
By having a DMZ you are increasing the factor of having to re-install everything just cause a new vulnerability in windows allowed a remote user to take root access.And oh your windows firewall is useless in many such attacks.And generally speaking software firewalls can be bypassed if i've got my stats correct.
And as for the record DMZ is widely used & practically suggested for hosting a http,ftp or basically a server which hosts or shares information with the public internet & which has no important data upon it.
The DMZ host has to be fully patched & should have atleast one firewall to block unwanted requests for not specified ports.The DMZ host is completely separated from the main network so that a remote take over wouldnt hamper important data.
I suggest you stick with port forwarding & forward only those required ports.Unless you have time in your hand to clean install a OS from scratch & no important data residing on your hard drive I dont find using a DMZ a good suggestion.

nothing will work -- it blocked by the Gateway at MTNL's ends from where the connection is relayed.
If u want all that functionality, try grabbing a LIVE(static) IP connection. nothing is like that. in delhi - i got 196kbps LIVE IP from hotwire , 1500/- per month
Try searching them for ur area';s feasibilty
Airtel too gives u a Live ip on some 256/512 connections reasonably Priced for home users. usually statci Ip;s are corporate connections only so are a lil Expensive

Sorry to burst the bubble but a home user using the net is one thing & a home user getting 0wNeD because he enabled DMZ without knowing the consequences is another.Ignorance is bliss is a quote I dont believe in & preach.
If I get my basics correct then a NAT device is also sometimes referred to as a security device or a firewall in a sense much because of the way it handles requests.
By default it blocks all connections which are from any remote host from the internet & thereby preventing port scans or unwanted connections made by say a worm unless you have port forwarding enabled & a service listening which the malicious program or worm intends to use.
And btw the original author of the thread has responded to the questions asked in a manner such that it makes me believe & assume that he has a router at his end & is not talking about the router at the ISP which would completely rule out the discussion we are having right now.

Yeah MTNL Triband users have a router at thier end, more precisely a DLink 502T Router.But the discussion is valid here, you can forward all ports by enabling DMZ, but its very risky, as said.So its better you only forward required ports.
And BTW a tip for all triband users, change your router's firmware default password, in case you have done so, i've heard with help of port scaning, hackers can gain control of u'r router, if they know the password.
