fhchiang Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 recently.. i setup a network at my home..i'm using BRIDGE mode, ADSL to connect to internet..... so, i don't have to worry bout port forwarding...PC1 connects to internet.PC2 uses PC1 as a gateway to go online.wehn i open utorrent on both PC at the same time.......only PC1 gets OPENED port status.. PC2 is firewall..i am using ZA PRO for both PC..the thing is, when only 1 PC is running, either one, it'll get green light.but when 2 is running, only 1 will get green light.

silverfire Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Make sure the two PC's are using different ports for µTorrent because when one PC is using it, the port is mapped to the first one that starts listening on the port. It should theoretically be fine if you use different ports.On a different note, I advise that you buy a router and uninstall ZoneAlarm. Software firewalls are next to useless, and you're better off buying a router and forwarding ports properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhchiang Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 i've tried different port..still not working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 And you forwarded for both ports? I'm not sure how ICS works, but if you do forward, you probably have to forward to the gateway computer's IP, and it'll probably get the stuff to PC2.

silverfire Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 What I'm wondering the most is if ICS acts as a router or a switch. If it's just a switch, then you're probably forwarding the wrong port. If it's acting as a router, then you're probably forwarding it to the wrong IP.

fhchiang Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 no..PC1 connects to the internet directly Via DSL Modem in BRIDGED mode.PC2 uses PC 1 as GATEWAY.PC1, PC2 and Modem are all links together with a router Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 It may act like a hub, spamming everything it receives to the other computer as well even if that was data meant for itself. I don't think that's likely though, due to the bigger messes it can cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 PC1, PC2 and Modem are all links together with a routerSo wait, are you, or are you not using a router...? If you are, setting the modem to bridged mode (I guess it's a modem+router combo) does not rid youself of the need to forward ports.If anything, I'd try uninstalling ZoneAlarm first.

Ultima Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 so, i don't have to worry bout port forwarding...Then this is false. You do need to forward -- both ports, as I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
