the first 2 tests xp-home could not finish the the upload,seems win7 took majority of the usage.

hi guys,ive just watched a few tutorials on my firmware.
turns out telstra doesnt like to support online gaming,and may offer a company called gizmo to configure the router at an expence.this doesnt matter much to myself as im to busy studying at the moment to get to deep into gaming,however im aware theres many gamers on this site and have found a few vids on youtube to enable port forwarding.so if anyone has the same router or intends to purchase this router,i would strongly suggest researching as much info as they can find first.
ill just drop the URL's to the vids.
joey if this seems irrelevant or posted in the wrong place,just delete this post

vid1 is about info re- port forwarding.

the 2nd is how to enable the ports,some of the comments offer port numbers also.

the 3rd is a different model of thomson that perhaps may be of use to somone
