Easy, let's get it done 😉 I don't know the specifics of either routers, but here's what you need to do. Visit portforward.com, and look up your D-Link. Set a port in utorrent and remember the port number. Now head over to the dlink's port forwarding interface and enter the port and your edimax's ip ie 192.168.2.1. Save the configuration. Now download portforward's static ip configuration tool and using that make your laptop's internal ip static. Now head over to edimax's port forwarding interface (see how to on portforward.com for doing so),,, enter the same port and this time enter your laptop's static ip. Save configuration. I go to canyouseeme.org, enter the port to verify I'd portforwarding has succeeded. Report back if you face any issues.

THanks for the logical steps.. this should help.
One more issue i faced was even after setting the IP as static it did not remain the same. on restart the IP would automatically be reset , which i guess is due to the dynamic IP setting on one / both the routers. This is something which i am confused about.
Can you help out with this?

Thanks.

if u tried setting it as static in the adsl modem then it wouldn't work coz mtnl issues you a dynamic ip. u have to pay extra for static ip. also when ur port forwarding just do it from the wifi router. u don't need to do it on the mtnl D-Link router.

What you need to set static is not mtnl's ip but your internal ip. Hence you need to download the static ip configuration tool from portforward.com. Afaik, you need to open the port in the D-Link too.

it works at my end without opening ports on the adsl router.

For me its the opposite 😛My wireless router opens the concerned ports automatically, but, I need to open manually open the ports on the my beetel modem.
