P2P nets such as BitTorrent usually need certain ports forwarded. If you
don't use them, you probably don't need port forwarding. I haven't used
Skype, but the other apps you need don't need any special port
configuration.

Hi Tom,
<snip and port
forwarding only those ports you need
PL] this is the only setting that I have not set. I use Eudora, Internet
Explorer and very occasionally I will use Skype and MSN messenger. How
should I set the port forwarding?
I thought port forwarding was only when I was running a server behind the
router?
