Hey. Before all of you guys yell at me for not searching the forums and not trying port forwarding, just listen. I have read all of the sticky posts and have tried to get torrents to work for a long time. I am positive that I have NO firewalls (XP disabled). I have a Linksys WRT54GS router and have all the necessary port forwading set up. I have changed these ports several times to no avail. I have also tried connecting via UPnP but still yellow... I have never been able to play any games online also which require port forwarding.IRC downloads seem to work fine.
I have had this problem for a long time and have a possible idea of the solution, but need help. I am connected into a router, which is connected into a wireless bridge and then connected to a wireless antenna on the roof which connects to a tower a ways away. When I test for whatismyip.com, i get an IP that I have never seen before (Not my Pc, not my router, and not my bridge.) Is there going to be a forwarding problem here due to the bridge or IP? I'm sorry if this post doesn't make any sense BTW.

Oh yes I forgot to add that I have tried this for many different torrents from sites that are said to be "fast".

Call up your ISP, and ask If they block any ports.
