Hi all,
example

Proto LocalAddress Foreign Address State
TCP 192.168.3.100:1104 60.160.16.1:139 ESTABLISHED

Which port should I key in 1104 or 139?
Will port forward make my connection faster?
thks

this is you connecting outside, no need for port forward there. port forwarding is for external inbound connections

Port forward allows inbound connection through your router. If you are using P2P program like limeware, kazaa, emule, bearshare you would want other to have access to your shared files. It can also be used if you need to have external access to you computer from outside.

AND NO port forwarding will not make your connection faster
