mwplayer Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hello,When I am using utorrent, my WAN IP keeps changing. My port is forwarded fine, and I have good peer connections. However, my WAN IP keeps changing, and my internet connection would disconnect and reconnect again.This is annoying.Please help.mwplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 There's nothing wrong in your setup if your public IP keeps changing.Bug your ISP to reduce their disconnection frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwplayer Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 The problem is the WAN IP keeps changing every few minutes.When I turn off utorrent and disable port forwarding, the problem disappeared.mwplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Your ISP's probably doing that, maybe to deter constant incoming connections through one port (aka trying to deter you from using the connection for a server). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Actually, this sounds like Windows XP SP2's half-open connection limit being exceeded...losing connection, and reconnecting -- thus your ISP gives you a new WAN ip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I don't think you lose connection totally because of the half-open limit, only new connections can't be created immediately -- XP shouldn't be cutting all other open connections, should it?
