In this topic we will discuss the configuration of the router (port forwarding) both automatic (through UPnP) and manual, to the end of opening a port in your router's firewall and forwarding it on the setup page of your router, for BitComet. Namely, you'll probably have to configure your router and/or firewall(s) in order to open the listening port of BitComet. But if you are behind a router or use Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or you are behind a firewall, you might need to make some adjustments before you get rid of the infamous yellow light and BitComet works as intended. To get the best speeds, BitComet needs an open listening port, just as most other P2P applications do.
Short of contacting your ISP to ask if there is a possibility to get full Internet connections on the same device or changing your Internet subscription plan for one that has incoming connections unfirewalled by default (all xDSL, cable or FiOS providers usually offer unfirewalled connections), there is nothing you can do on your side to unblock incoming connections, therefore there is no point in following this guide or any other port-forwarding guide, for that matter, because you will still have incoming connections blocked on all your ports! Note: If you are connected to the Internet through a wireless modem (usually a USB stick) which uses mobile phone wireless telecommunications technology (such as GPRS, EDGE, EVDO, HSPA, UMTS, etc.) most likely your Internet connection will be firewalled at the ISP site by default (so you basically get only half of an Internet connection, without the possibility of successful incoming connections).
