okay i need help on how to configure router/firewallll.. problem is that im using bittornado and my light status is always yellow and i have 0-4kbps download rate... btw, i have a verizon DSL internet connection (846 kbps speed) and im using westell versalink 327W modem/router. i already did the port forwarding (portforwarding.com) and i used port range 10000-10010 as instructed. the problem comes in with NAT check and shield up. it says "stealth" on each port i forwarded. but i have my firewall down on my router (i called verizon and they told me theres no firewall up) and im using WINDOWS ME and i believe there is no firewall installed... i dont understand why my ports are blocked..anybody with the same problem that uses windows ME pls help me.. im new to this issue/networking.. thank you!!!
Then you didn't forward. Either you need to tell bittornado to USE one of those ports, or you didn't ACTIVATE the forward in the router, OR you chose the WRONG local IP to forward to (i.e. another computer on your network instead of yours.)

Good luck then feller. Network on ME is and has always been borked compared to any other MS OS, even 3.1.
And...I sure hope you're not paying verizon much for 846kbps...you must be pretty far away from the node.
Just one more note...since you seem new...and since you're on verizon, and probably not a private tracker, if you are downloading any questionable content, you NEED to be running something like Peer Guardian 2, or you won't have ANY DSL in a couple days.
