Jeez, I'm hoping someone can help me out here! OK. I have Bellsouth Internet Service (DSL). I went and did some port forwarding thru my default gateway and now my internet connection is intermittent.  I enabled IP Passthru using my computer as the host device and set up a NAT service to RUN Soulseek which is a file sharing program.(Free and legal independent music, I don't steal). Anyway. I set up a port for Soulseek and added that port to run on the Nat Service I setup. For those that don't know you type your Computer/ISP Default gateway Address into your internet address bar and it will take you to your ISP where you can config your internet options. Anyway I can run soulseek and it runs great,lol! but now the internet is real weird. Sometimes it will let me go to a site and sometimes it will timeout on me. Sometimes it won't let me on at all.  Somewhere in all the configuring I did, I did something wrong.

Was hoping someone could help me figure out what?
