2 Linksys routers: RTP300->WRT54G->Notebook

[klmnop]

Hi, i am a complete newbie to the whole port-forwarding and the setup of uTorrent. I am currently using Bitcomet but want to switch to uTorrent for obvious reasons, however i am very computer illiterate and need step-by-step help for setting up the program properly.

here is my current connection setup:

Modem -> RTP300 Linksys Vonage router -> WRT54G Linksys router -> 5 computers all via wireless

I previously attempted to set this up but got lost in the directions because of the 2 routers and must now start over. Please let me know if you need more information regarding my computer and my connection.

Thank you in advance for your help.

For the RTP->WRT forwarding, the WRT needs a static IP for its internet connection side (the same way a computer would) provided you don't have a way to change it into a bridging mode (which effectively turns the WRT into a switch and only a switch).

how would i go about making the WRT a static IP and what would this do for the other 4 wireless users

and if it is easier, how could i bridge the routers

Setting the static IP on the WRT54G is done on the main page of the settings.

Connection type: Static IP

Get the information you need from the status page (like DNS, Gateway and such) and enter the correctly adjusted settings in the main page.

when i do that the wireless connection is lost, should this happen or is there a way to do it and preserve the wireless

do i need to do this while connected via lan to the wireless router?
