Click the link that says "New user defined service." Lets see where that takes us.

portforward.com's tutorial is probably just a little out of date.

can you see the images? On my screen its coming up as a red cross for some reason

In case you cant, clicking on New user defined services gives me a screen with a field where i can enter a "Service Name" and also a link which says "New Server Ports". Clicking on that takes me to another screen which says Protocal and then has a drop down list between TCP or UDP. Underneathe that it says Destination Ports: which has 2 fields for me two fill in and are seperated by a dash (-)

Those are the ones that need the information. For torrents/p2p you need both TCP and UDP protocols.. the numbers will be the same.

I use this belkin interface on my home built router/firewall. It's good, but not foolproof. After completing the changes you will need ro reboot the router. This can be done by either pressing the button underneath, or from a place in the UI.

This guide should help you no end.. http://portforward.com/english/routers/p...632-4/eMule.htm
