Ok lads, a couple of brain teasers for you! :thumbs
I have recently installed a 3com DSL router (+ wireless) now that I have my 2M pipe. Since doing this I have seen a dramatic drop in DL speed with BT (using ABC). I have had a look around the web and have set the following in the router firewall:
Trigger ports Type Public Port Type
6881-9 (TCP) 6800-6999 (TCP)
I have also read that some BT clients use ports 49152-62 so may add that aswell.
Is this set correctly? Should this now increase by speeds?
Are opening these ports going to increase the threat potential on my machine? Would it be easier to disable the firewall on the router and stick with the SW protection I have installed already?
I am running Peer Gaurdian2 (with P2P blocked) NAV Internet Security 2005 and standard spyware protection on XP SP1.
Once we get this sorted I have a couple of more questions! :|
Thanks
