hi all,
This is my first posting. so I wd like to introduce myself.
Myself Himanshu and I am having airtel home 64 unlimited plan since last 15 days. I use my connection to download movies, games, etc with some p2p softwares. i keep my pc up all the time to download these things. Uptill yesterday i was having USB modem and the dial-up was a problem, so i switched to Ethernet modem. One problem solved, but another started. The ethernet modem is blocking ports used by my p2p softwares.
I called airtel customer care, they said ports can not be unlocked, the problem is at your end, ie in my pc or lan settings. I kept arguing the ports are open from my firewall and the problem is with modem, but everything in vain. finally i hung up and started my serch over internet for the problem. Thats when I found this foum. You guys are doing a beautiful job.
Here, in response to Angad Singh's query, someone had posted a solution to open ports in
ADSL Yozan modem. here it is, again.
"
1. telnet to it
$ telnet 192.168.1.1
login and p@$$word "admin"
on the --> prompt
type
---> console enable
now the prompt becomes
192.168.1.1>
at this prompt
try
192.168.1.1> nat inbound add yoon-0 6881/tcp 192.168.1.2
replace yoon-0 with your wan link, 6881 with port # you wanna forward, tcp or udp and 192.168.1.2 with ip of your computer.
You can add any number of port to be forwarded in this manner.
There are delete commands also, but haven't tried them.
To see what you configured:
192.168.1.1> nat inbound list
To save the config try
192.168.1.1> config save
Sometimes, it gives "no such command" for valid commands too. Just do exit and console enable and try again
logout from telnet seesion; i do escape ] and quit.
A manual is also available for ATMOS used in the modem, try the link

"
With a software, eMule, if the TCP port is blocked, it gives you lowID which lowers your priority in downloading.
I tried the above solution, and the port were unlocked. i was a very happy man at that moment.
but, the problem with this solution is as soon as there is a power failure, the modem aslo goes down. When power resumes, all the NAT settings are gone and you have to repeat all the steps again.
Question:
1. Is there any better solution than the above?
2. Can I enable multiple ports in one command, like ports from 2000 to 4000, instead of adding one by one?
3. Can a batch file be made of these telnet commands which can be added to the startup to enable all the required ports?
Please help.
