I'm gonna start suggesting a DNS issue with your provider and I suggest downloading ad-aware and run that. Sometimes spyware can screw up your DNS stuff and shit.

 

My provider is RCN....hmmm....lemme check some configurations on my router to see if i hosed something up when i was enabling port forwarding for BitTorrents

 

try a direct connection to the modem too.

 

port forwading won't usually screw up things that badly. Maybe reset your router? If you are a torrent whore it can sometimes mess things up with routers.

 

Im usually not a torrent whore but once i got it working ive ben getting things i havent gotten in a while

 

then try as said above.. direct connect to the modem or reset the router.

 

Resetting the router worked....that's strange....im going to add each forwarded port back to see what was the cause of the problem

 

what brand of router?

 

Linksys 802.11B Wireless Router. Im starting to find out Linksys routers are pains in the asses

 

I figured it was a Linksys, and yes a lot of them are plauged with the "too much traffice" or other things and they crap out horribly! All I can suggest is stay with linksys and upgrade to a WRT54G and get the aftermarked firmware by dd-wrt or possibly see if they have it for yours already.
