Hi Every1

i just got connected with 02 585v7 box version #2 and i was wondering when i am using P2P software and was wondering if i woould or need to open a port for easy access for this as i am new to this router lark, this is my 1st one, as have always been on virgin cable prior to this.

Took alot of crap of virgin in the time i was with them, but they constant broken promises and the recent STM level are a bit too much fro any one who has been with them as when they diud not have them in place. You would laugh at the limits they have set before STM kicks in, and alot of times it just kicks in for fun.


This is my 1st Adsl provider and i am impressed with the level of service so far, alls good although was Estimated speed of 9.5MB, actuiall speed i am able to achieve is 6.3MB at the moment, but wouldn't mind the extra MB or so. Upload is @ 965kb, best i have ever had. I come from speeds of 2MB and up @ 224kb.

I am amazed at the sheer speed at the moment, and how easy it is to connect the whol;e set up to my desktop upstairs and am also able to connect via laptop from downstairs via the wireless connection.

Well impressed with the KIT so far.

Its basically plug'n'play.

So if anyone is able to answer my intial querie about the Ports, that would be great, but please be aware, when you do reply, that i am a newbie to all this router stuff.

Thanks, and hope the above info is of use to those whom are thinking about joining, the service is really an eyeopener.


The P2P Client ido use is Bit Tornado, dont know if that ifo is of any use.
