To configure a BSNL modem to forward ports, you need to get to the router configuration page, so type 192.168.1.1 in your browser, then enter admin as both the username and password (It’s the default one, if you haven’t changed it yet).
Now go to the Advanced Settings tab and then to the Application sub-section. There, enter the settings as above.
You can change the port number according to the port you use in your BitTorrent software.
Click Apply. This will reboot your modem; the rebooting process will take about two minutes.

Use the same steps as above to reach the router configuration page, then click on NAT > Enable. Go to NAT Entries, Click New… Then, enter the data as here.

Here is a cool technique which hides entire hard disk drive partitions by a simple procedure without using Regedit:
1. Go to Start > Run and type diskpart.
A DOS window will appear with following description.
DISKPART>
2. Then type list volume
3. Suppose you want to hide drive E:, type select volume 3. A message will now appear in the window saying “Volume 3 is the selected volume”.
4. Now type remove letter E. You may have to reboot the computer. Diskpart will remove the letter. Since Windows XP doesn’t have the capability to identify the unknown volume, it won’t display or show results from it. To access the contents of the hidden drive, repeat the process, but in the fourth step, replace remove to assign, i.e., assign letter E.
