the screenshots here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=23369 should help.

On a Linksys, you just type in the machine's local IP and port (check TCP and UDP) on the port forwarding page.

Forget DMZ as it opens all ports and expose you to internet worms. Moreover I found the DMZ hosts in Linksys routers to be working poorly.

Bonne chance

You have to choose between a static IP given by the router or a dynamic one (DHCP) that will change sometimes and make port forward useless.

I copied a part of one of my old post:

To get a static address (much better for setting port forwarding):
http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm
To open port 6346 on router and make port fowarding:
http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm

This site is great and much more efficient that I would be explaining things once by once to you.

Bonne chance
