M70 Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I changed ISP and added a router, before that I used to get the green light.1) I get a red light.2) DSL 1024 kbps download & 256 kbps upload3) Win XP Home SP2, router 3Com 3CRWE554G72TU (firmware 2.01.10)4) Kerio 4.3.246 and the router's firewall.5) I think that I've portforwarded correctly following advise from www.portforward.com (static IPs, virtual server...). 6) I don't think that my ISP is blocking P2P, it's a small company outside US but IS THERE ANY WAY TO REALLY FIND OUT?7) I've tried to disable Kerio, disable UPnP and to use encryption.8) Utorrent was already added to the Kerio exceptions before changing ISP and adding a router so I shouldn't have to change that.Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Try uninstalling Kerio for a bit. And tell us what modem you're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M70 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Modem? No, just a Motorola 300SS (Surge Suppressor) and an ethernet cable that goes to the antenna (dish or kind of radar).I'll remove Kerio and post again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M70 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 No. The test port says that even without Kerio the port isn't open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M70 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 It's not satellite, it's just wireless to cover the city. I think maybe Wimax.And according to http://www.ip2phrase.com/ my IP is public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I think WiFi/WiMax/WiWhatever is just the same (in terms of port forwardability). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M70 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Ouch! I'm NATed. I've done another test, I've connected a computer without the router and I still get the red light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork985 Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 you can find if a port is blocked by going to www.canyouseeme.org and entering your chosen port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M70 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Error: I could not see your service on XXX on port (16028)Reason: Connection timed outIt's the ISP. Now I'm sure. Using an OpenOffice torrent I get 100% speed (with yellow light). I'll add the ISP to the beloved list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork985 Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Well, try to configure a differnt port, ISP's usually dont block really high numbers like 30000 to 65000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M70 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Same thing with 62958. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M70 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Mmm... I've tried SecureIX and the good news are that I get the green light but with the same speed (slow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 The point is that ports are allowed/disallowed before the connection is sent out wirelessly from the provider's connections, so you have no real control over port forwarding. As you said, VPN probably works, but that's because you're basically tunneling through the VPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Most WiMax and Satellite connections are behind routers and are only given LAN ips...many may share the same real internet ip. There is NO way to unfirewall them because of it. It's a real NAT-ty problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M70 Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 So, why can I get max. speed (not green light) just with things like Linux distros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Because green light doesn't mean everything. Because it depends on the torrent you're on and the people who you're connected to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M70 Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 This story has a happy ending.I've talked with my ISP and he agrees that he uses a firewall but he also has opened a couple of ports.So now I get the green light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
