An RTFM suggests this is not possible.

But what is the problem with torrents? If it's a block of the torrent ports,
then does shifting ports not help?

I believe, the OP is referring to incoming torrent connections so that 
his PC can be part of the upload streams.  For this to happen you have 
to port forward the incoming connections to the IP of PC running the 
torrent client.

[ilugd] [OT] Port forwarding and multiple queries

2008-07-20 Thread shirish
Hi all,
 A friend of mine has got reliance broadband and he has been wanting
to do some torrenting on the same. He has got the MTA 6328-1Be2S as a
router from reliance . We tried port-forwarding on the device but that
option doesn't seem to be there.

A quick search leads me to
http://www.innomedia.com/products_sohores_mta6328_1be2s_specs.shtml

Now if somebody has worked with this router and knows whether
port-forwarding can be done on this router.

If not, can somebody recommend some other router which would give the
same functionality, bearing in mind the router could talk/work with
with the RJ-45 downlink/uplink port which is there instead of the
regular RJ-11 which the telephone line uses.

If not, if there are any other options besides changing the service providers.

Any and all answers appreciated.

Although my friend is using GNU/Linux specifically Ubuntu as the
primary OS, this is hardware which don't think is FLOSS hence put it
under [OT] tag if something else would have been better, please lemme
know that as well.

Why not directly plug the network cable from provider, directly into
some RJ-45 socket on the PC ? And then he can do more than what is
going to be provided by the router's software.

Looks like an integrated VoIP ATA (RJ11) + router.

 Now if somebody has worked with this router and knows whether
 port-forwarding can be done on this router.

If you don't care for the VoIP tel. service (RJ11 ATA port), you could 
try replacing it with a regular fast ethernet router (RJ45 on WAN 
port). DLink and Linksys have various models that do port forwarding or 
at least a DMZ to one IP no. on the LAN.

I am not sure if Reliance binds it's VoIP service with the serial no. or 
MAC address of the device.  You will most likely loose this aspect of 
the service with above.

 If not, can somebody recommend some other router which would give the
 same functionality, bearing in mind the router could talk/work with
 with the RJ-45 downlink/uplink port which is there instead of the
 regular RJ-11 which the telephone line uses.

 If not, if there are any other options besides changing the service
 providers.

MTNL ADSL service has worked out OK for me and they don't seem to be 
blocking any ports.
