Port Forwarding with Azureus

Hi all, I've been having some problems since I reset my Billion Bipac-5100 ADSL Router. I've tried looking around for answers and I know they're out there but are tough to get my head around them when they aren't specific.

I now have it connected to a Buffalo AirStation G54 wireless Router and after some fiddling they work fine together for normal web surfing and things.

My problem is that I am having trouble with setting up the NAT so that I can use Azureus properly. I need to allow Azureus to bind to a specific port for full speed. I thought having UPnP enabled on both devices and in Azureus would allow things to be configured automatically but apparently not (for some reason which I don't understand).

I didn't write down the settings before resetting the Billion and now it's a lot harder to 'play around till I get it right' because I need to get the settings right with both the Buffalo wireless Router and Billion ADSL Router at the same time.

I know I need to enter IP addresses and port information (that Azureus is set to use) so as to allow Azureus to work at full speed but am not clear what goes where.

In short, the devices are connected as so:

ADSL line = Billion Router
Billion Router = Buffalo AirStation G54 wireless Router
Buffalo AirStation = Cat5 connected PC (1) & wirelessly connected PC (2)

I need to set up port forwarding on both the Billion and the Buffalo by entering IP addresses and the relevant port. My query is, what devices or computer IP address goes in which device (Billion and Buffalo)?

I hope this doesn't sound like a load of drivel and someone can help. Please let me know if there is any other information that is needed for a solution. I'm pretty good with PC's but not so much with networking nor (obviously) port forwarding.

Many thanks,

David
