Modem works better than a router

[frankf]

I've been using LW for ages using adsl usb modem (voyager 105) However, I've just installed voyager 205 modem/router to take advantage of the ethernet connection and I can now only get a max of 5 ultrapeers - speed is ok at t/charged.

If I go to options/advanced/firewall and set to manual, I get masses of connections (no ultrapeers interestingly) but the speed rarely rises above 'good'.

I didnt change any router settings at all. I'm sure I need to but need accurate guidance.
I went back to my 105 modem and everythings cool.

Any ideas/help? much appreciated.

I thought your bt voyager 205 supported UPnP but I'm not sure.

If you want to manually forward a port, then follow the instructions here (must set up a static ip 1st for it to work!!!) & open port 6346.

Disable your XP firewall! (go to the control panel, double click on Windoze Firewall, check the disable box) & instead just use Norton FW but you need to configure it: *Configuring Norton Internet Security
