Unkle Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Hi, newbie here,managed to get up and running, all seems to be working OK with both upload and download.However there is a little icon that says port may not be forwarded, and when I do the test from the speed guide it says port not open, port is open on Router and Firewall (win xp) is allowing Utorrent.Any ideas?

Datastorm Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I have also noticed this and its one of them little thing that really annoys me. Both upload and download are working fine like you said but both the little icon and the port forward test thingy says my port is closed. Thank god i aint the only one.

Ultima Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 portforward.com, you didn't forward properly, otherwise the port checker wouldn't be erroring out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unkle Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 portforward.com, you didn't forward properly, otherwise the port checker wouldn't be erroring out.I have cheked and double checked and all ok.I don't know why but once i had cleared the cache in my browser (firefox) and refreshed the page it says port OK.

Datastorm Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Is it possible that it might have somthing to do with my ISP? i have tried all the above and still getting a big red or yellow light. before i did the above i noticed that my downloads dropped from 300kbps to about 6-10kbps might just be the torrent i dunno :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
