Step 4

• Make sure state is enabled
• Set protocol to TCP
• Set start and end port to the port that Shareaza is using
• Set Local IP Address to the IP of the machine you want to run Shareaza on.
• Click Add, then Apply.
• Make sure state is enabled
• Set protocol to UDP
• Set start and end port to the port that Shareaza is using

Step 5 Click "save changes and reboot". The router will now restart with the new settings.

Step 6 (optional) To reduce the chances of your router disconnecting under heavy load, you can make additional tweaks to the settings, if you desire.

• Set the TCP timeout value to 5 minutes
• Set the UDP timeout value to 1 minute
• Click OK, and then "Save changes and reboot"
