How do I make Shareaza work with a Linksys BEFSR41 and other Routers

Step 1 Open Windows networking. With Windows 2000/XP:

• Go to Start > Control Panel, then double click on "Network conections".
• Find the network connection used to connect to the internet (usually "Local Area Connection"). Right click on it, and select Properties.

With Windows 95/98/Me:

• Right click on "Network Neighbourhood" and select Properties.

Step 2 Set your machine to use a static IP.

• In the window that appears, look for "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)". It may be near the end of the list. Click on that, and then click Properties.
• In the window that appears, check the box "Use the following IP address".
• Set IP Address to 192.168.1.10
• Set subnet to 255.255.255.0
• Set gateway to 192.168.1.1
• DNS should be 192.168.1.1
• Now click OK, and then OK again.

Step 3 Enter the port forwarding section on your router setup.

• Enter http://192.168.1.1/ in your broswer to enter the router web-based setup.
• You may be asked for a password. If so, the default settings are to leave the username in blank, and type "admin" for password.
• Go to Advanced in the top right.
• Go to "Forwarding" (or "Port Forwarding", depending on model).

Step 4 Forward the ports on your router. Enter the forwarding information in the first available line:

• Customised Application: "Shareaza"
• Port: The port Shareaza is using- the one that you took note of earlier.
• Port to: same as above.
• Check both the UDP and TCP boxes.
• IP Address: 10 (So it would say 192.168.1.10)
• Click on accept, and you should be done.

Step 5 Restart Shareaza.

• Make sure "I can accept incoming connections" in connection settings is ticked.
• Shut down and restart Shareaza.
