[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 719506, member: 38928"] Up at 5:15 Mon-Fri. Tend to drop onto the forums while I'm waking up with my first coffee of the day :) As for my setup: Netgear ADSL router - wired to some of my PCs - wireless to my MacBook Transmission on my MacBook. uPnP works but I prefer to set a firewall rule on the router. The port is showing open and 'green' in transmission. Netgear routers allow the same IP address to be allocated to a predefined device (using the MAC address). It's like having a static IP with having to change anything on the MacBook. That way when I connect to other wireless networks I don't have to mess with the network settings on the Mac. If I get a few minutes later today I'll have a look at the manual for your router and see if I can come up with some more ideas. [/QUOTE]
