for router people that use azureus, under add/remove windows components/ networking.... select universal plug n play and install it, then enable UPNP in your router config and azureus will forward all the ports for you automatically for your router and close them when done
youll also notice a link in "my network places" to your router config now

Post subject:  Cant get greenlight! Someone walk me through router setup!

I am using a linksys wireless g router (wrt54gs). I have no idea how to port forward. I think I understand changing the laptop ip to something besides 192.168.1.1 ! I disabled the Norton, Linksys, Windows XP SP2 firewalls. Still get yellow light? Someone please walk me through setting up the router. Thanks a lot for any help I receive!

i get a yellow light but after about 3-5 minutes it goes green, is this an indication of a malware exploit or just the torrent/my pc.

also i keep losing my connection ie. my download/upload goes to 0 and i lose connection to a webpage. (my other pc thats on the same network stays on the net)

is this something to do with malware? just some questions while i wait for this Spybot to download.


me too... it looks as a winxp overflow of ip.

Post subject:  Same problem as Guest

I'm having the same problem as Guest.

I'm from Singapore and I'm running on the Singnet 1.5Mbps wireless connnection. However, the maximum speed I've achieved so far is only 50kbps. Why has my speed been limited? Checked firewall etc but everything looks ok (running WinXP SP2 with built-in firewall).

Thanks!

Ahh, sorry for the double post but I do have a question and maybe you could help?

I scanned my computer a couple times back to back just to see if SpyBot missed something, and everytime, I delete DSO Exploit but it just keeps coming back. Have any insight on that?

And, should I delete Linksynergy? I thought it might have something to do with LinkSys, the company that made my router... so I don't know if I should get rid of that.

Thanks for your time!


DSO EXPLOIT is a flaw in windows witch MS said they fix in SP2 all it is it allows web sites to execute stuff on your comp,, read on it more in SPYBOT is a good tool but not the sharpest tool in the shed eg create dir comet cursor SPYBoT will think its a problem, watch what you delete!!

If you've been having problems getting a green light, the reason may be that your computer is or was infected with malware and your Windows proxy settings have been changed!

Some malware programs have been noted to change HTTP proxy settings to route all web requests through a remote server, that allows the people behind the malware to spy on your web browsing. If you've been having problems with getting a green light, either constantly or if you seem to be behind a transparent proxy, you should check and make sure you don't have any odd proxy settings in place.

To check proxy settings, open Control Panel/Internet Options, Connections tab. You'll need to check the Settings for any Dial-up/VPN entries in the list on that tab, and also click the LAN Settings button to check for a proxy server there. Note that your ISP may require the use of a proxy server, so the presence of a proxy server entry isn't necessarily malevolent. Check with your ISP if you find anything there.

If you do find a suspicious proxy entry on your computer, I recommend you install and run Spybot: Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org). Note that Spybot may not remove the proxy settings even if it removes the malware, so you may have to clear the proxy settings manually.


WOW!! Thanks for telling us that!! I get yellow light all the time. I run Ad-Aware frequently and no malware is found. Does yellow light mean that the file I download is injecting malwares to my computer ???

It's weird ! I have Spysweeper and Ad-aware. No malware is found.... But I get yellow light all the time. Is it possible that the file I'm downloading is transferring malwares to my computer ?
