This may be too obvious to work, but I suggest trying to disable window xp sp2's native firewall, or any other anti virus programs that you may have with a firewall in them. By the way, DMZ is a linksys invention that lets ONE computer bypass the firewall which apparently is part of the router, so it's hardwired..but it looks like you set it up so it bypassed that.

One question: can you get plain vanilla bittorrent to work? I know it uses mostly 6500+ ports
I'm assuming your internet works, heh.

uh, also I suggest changing TCP/IP to automatic and see if that helps, but make sure to record the information if it doesn't. I don't see how making it static would help at all unless it was to utilize the DMZ utility.

Edit : I actually took a look at your pictures this time, and it shows that you have made your IP address (...)20 and your router is giving the go ahead for .50 AND you didn't check the enable box to allow those ports.

So try changing the router's display to (..)20 instead of .50 and check the box for that first thing because those look like the right numbers for bit torrent.

Also change it from TCP to both , because I think it may use both. Maybe it doesn't.
