Hi All,

Im having alot of problems with download speed for torrents, connection to limewire and Ares downloads, and generally poor Internet speeds using AOL and my netgear router.

I have 2 machines connected to my router. I have set both machines to use a static IP address, and I have set up port forwarding on my router. I have disabled windows firewall but I still cant connect to Limewire and torrents are very slow to download.

What are the basic settings I need for AOL in my router setup

ATM i am using:
PPPoA
MTU = 1492

Do I need to setup the DNS servers on router? When setting up my static IP address I used 92.31.242.20. Is this the right one?

Please everyone, I jsu need help sorting my torrents and P2P download and connection settings out! AFAIK i have set up firewall properly, routers properly and Im lost now what to do!

Thanks in advance
Rai
