How to port forward utorrent without router access? (landlord)

[compal]

Hi, I've tried searching the forums and google on this subject, but my keywords or phrase isn't coming up with anything relevant for my solution...

Anyways, I was hoping that one of y'all with good experience regarding this topic would know what to do.

** I am running utorrent 1.6.1 build 490.

** I am familiar on how to forward ports with my old D-Link router... it was simple... BUT

*** here's the new problem... I just moved to a house in which I rent the basement (fully furnished w/ full kitchen/bed/bath) for school, and the family lives upstairs. My rent includes access to their wireless...

*** Surfing the net, downloading from browsers, etc is fine - BUT not torrents since I am not connectible to any peer since ports need forwarding....

I don't have nor want to fiddle around with their router upstairs to do this - besides, it might make them uncomfortable since they are available about internet threats, and had their router set up by a technician for wirelessand firewall protection - This is completely impossible for me to do... (I tried to enter their router menu anyways from downstairs to do this, but they changed all the default passwords and SSID name - so no idea what their using hehe... I don't go upstairs, have my own entrance)

Is there any port I can put on utorrent client port box menu that might be an open port in most routers? I'm not sure even if that's the right way of asking this question - but I hope you would understand it...

Ok, that's all for now - thanks for reading this - and I would sincerely appreciate your inputs and suggestions.... I want to be able to seed properly, but ah, the red light!!!

Thank you!

I think you're SOL unless you can gain access to that router somehow.

Try using UPnP in µTorrent, it may auto-forward the port for you.

Or not...if the router doesn't have that enabled or doesn't support that particular form of UPnP.

Thank you both for writing back to me....

I enabled UPnP in utorrent as you had mentioned...

It does not seem they're router has that feature or it's not enabled as you mentioned Switeck... (I have the red connection light)

Any TCP ports which are usually enabled in the router which I can come around this problem? Downloading is fine (full speeds, almost) but uploading/sharing is nothing Which sucks for myself and everyone else....

ok, will come back to see additional thoughts.... thank you!
