I am using a D-Link302g adsl modem, and a Netgear MR814v2 wireless router, and I am having problems with configuring the NAT so that I can use Bit Torrent. In the router settings I am able to forward the ports to the computer I am using, but, the modem also has NAT.. I do not know a whole lot about NAT technology, so I would really appreciated some help on what I can do to make this work. I have tried disabling NAT in the modem, though then I am completely cut off from the internet :-S

u will need NAT to to be turned on as this is how the the router translates ur IP to a private IP and vice versa so u can communicate with the web.its more than likely the port settings on your bit torrent software..is there a firewall? have u tried checking that? anyone got any work!!? i need a JOB!!

I am not familiar with the D-Link modem. But I had a similar problem with the Westell 2200. You need to set up your D-Link as a Bridge. There should be an option for Bridged Ethernet in your D-Link. This will pass the public IP to your router. When you set up the Dlink as a bridge, all pppoe functionality will be disabled. (assuming you don't have a static ip) Then set up your router with your login info and enable pppoe if it applies. As a side note....You probably won't be able to get into your Dlink once you have the router in the middle. Since your ethernet port on your modem will plug into the WAN port of your router. Most router's will not "route" out of the WAN port, so when you input the ip for your modem from your browser....the router will never see the modem. This was also a problem I had with my Westell. I have since changed over to the 2wire home portal 1800W. It's a modem/4 port router/ and supports 802.11b all in one.

One more thing I forgot to address... By setting it up this way.....you let your router handle all of the NAT. And let your modem/router combo just act like a modem. That D-link is a router too....You don't both of them trying to do NAT. I suppose you could forward the modem NAT to the router...then have the router forward them on to your computer. Athough I have never tried this and I don't see what you would gain from it...if it would work. Just set up your modem as a bridge as I described in the previous post and let you router handle all NAT...I know this configuration works.
