NETGEAR! is lame

[ZERO]

Your trying to do this on a router I am assuming? Also I do not really see how this is their problem as opening and closing ports is the most basic task you can do with a router. It would be like buying a car and then complaining that you do not know how to drive in the rain.

Also is there anything your trying to gain from this thread like how to open the ports?

Have you turned off your windows firewall?

if the only firewall he has is windows built in one then turning it off is a bad idea. The firewall actually becomes more restrictive, blocking anything it doesn't recognize, without questioning the user.

http://portforward.com/ should be all you need.

If you configure a hardware firewall correctly there is almost no need for a software one...

Agreed........ portforward.com is a great site to use for basic users.
Walks you step by step on most things

What I find odd is even if the port is claimed to be closed on mine (the one I use for Utorrent) I can somehow still download and upload at max speed.

I wont question why It can do that and Ill just let it do its own thing.
