MSN and NAT Qs.

[unofficialPete]

Firstly MSN, out of nowhere it no longer wants to minimize, ie if I click something behind it, it stays on top, have to manualy click it down everytime...


Secondly (see attachment) is there anyway I can get into the settings for my NTL modem and change the NAT ports? I'm bit of a novice... will it be set by NTL, I'd geuss there closed to stop me milking torrents...

looks like MSN has "always on top" enabled.

to get rid of this, go on tools, then click "Always on top"

should work

not sure about other thing

For your router try typing 192.168.0.1 and on most home ones that gets you into the configuration of it.

cheers ollie, was easier than I thought! will have to google around find out exactly what to type for an ntl box...

oh... if you dont know the IP of your router:

start
run
type "cmd"
then type "ipconfig"
then the ip of the router is usually shown under the name of your network device... Sorry if this isnt much help, dont really know a lot about networking :\

You can't change NAT ports.. they ae automatically assigned to whatever is next free.

For MSN to work nicely, try and turn "UPnP" on..

Yup turned that on cheers, can now get a green face on azureus and hopefully msn file transfer will fly now!
