Makavcio Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ok, I'm not an expert but I'll try to help you out while I'm waiting for someone to help me Let's start with checking whether your connection is ok as it is now.Go to uTorrent and click on a tiny "network" icon in the bottom right corner of its window, right above tray (clock). It will open initial transfer configuration. Run it for the port specified in preferences of the app (it's already there) and if everything turns out ok, you're good. If not... First of all, make sure that you are using a fixed port for uTorrent so go to preferences and type in, let's say 58666. Or just hit "random" and the app will decide. There are just a few ports that should not be used for that. The range you are using is ok but let's make use of just one port. uTorrent doesnt need more of them. Make sure that uTorrent is not set to use a random port every time the app is restarted. Now you need to forward this port to your PC.Before we will be able to do that, you must make sure that your pc ALWAYS HAS THE SAME INTERNAL IP. DHCP usually assigns internal ip without keeping track of it so if you have more computers and other devices in your network and they connect and disconnect from time to time, it will get jumbled up. I've learnt it the hard way myself when everything got forwarded to my tablet... Anyhow, you'll need to assign an unchanging internal ip address to mac address of your pc. Consult routers manual for directions on how to do that. It's usually almost intuitive if you are not afraid of router's interface and technical lingo. Now, when your pc has static internal ip, forward 58666 to that ip. Make sure to forward both tcp and upd connections. You already have experience with it so there should be no problems. Restart your router if it didn't do it by itself when you saved new settings and logged off. Start uTorrent and go again to the network testing thingie. If your connection is not blocked by software, everything should be a-ok. If your software is blocking uTorrent, stop using apps you cannot tame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
