    Hi all,
    I am currently using Shareaza and am having difficulty configuring my router to allow sharing files. My router is a Siemens speedstreem 6500 series and I cannot find any information on how to do this; including the manual and www.portforward.com.
    Does anyone else have this router and know how to configure ports on it?

    Much appreciated.

And another thing there is a newer version of Shareaza download it, it will give u better results.The site URL has been changed http://shareaza.sourceforge.net/.

    Hey,
    Thanks for your reply. I have previously checked out those sites and I have the current version of Shareaza installed 2.2.1...I really need to find a site that has step-by-step instructions like on 'portforward'. Unfortunately my model is not there. My speedstream router configurations baffle me!! It does not have any simple catergories like 'Port forward' so I am really stuck on where to start.
    Do you know what information I should be putting in;
    SOURCE:
    - Inbound filter rule: WAN interface or PPPoA(0)8/35?
    - Outbound filter rule: WAN interface or PPPoA (0) 8/35?
    DESTINATION:
    ...same as above.
    Am I even tweaking in the right place???

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi again
    The thing is that i have no such knowledge where Routers are concerned... iam sorry,(Iam currently doing my MCSE.When i start CCNA then i might probably able to help u...lol) but u said something about Inbound and Outbound filters, theres a software which tests ur internet speed (TCP/IP, Inbound & Outbound speed) which u then feed it into Shareaza accordingly. You can download it at www.conceiva.com the software is called Surf Stream.

    Peace.

    can u get into ur router settings


    if u can u should be able to open up certain ports and if you search on sharaza u should be able to find what ports it uses and open them
