danno Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 I set up my port forwarding a couple weeks ago, went in utorrent to the speed guide and ran the check to make sure the port was forwarded correctly, got the OK. Fast forward to today and suddenly I'm getting an error instead of OK.Now, I know the port is forwarded properly, as it worked before. And I have a static IP set up, did that a couple weeks ago...now I'm clever, or connectable according to the torrent sites I use, yet utorrent is saying my port isn't forwarded correctly.What could have happened between now and when I had originally set it up, and everything was working fine?Also, I am still uploading as usual, as if there wasn't a problem.

DreadWingKnight Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 yet utorrent is saying my port isn't forwarded correctly.Where is it saying this?Do you have any torrents that have been active for over 30 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danno Posted September 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 When I go to the speed guide>test if port is forwarded properlySome torrents pop up and upload for a short time, another one I have has been uploading consistantly for a couple days now. I'm still uploading as I type this but get the error from utorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 You're 100% sure you have port forwarding and static IP setup correctly? What modem are you using? Router? Software firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danno Posted September 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Well, I was 100% sure, it worked for close to a month now....just happened to check today and it gave me the error, every other time it said OK.I'm using an ActiontecMI424WR, the router that was installed when I got FIOS installed. And the only firewall I have is the windows, but the ports are allowed, and utorrent is allowed.Not sure why it would work for weeks, then just stop working. I figure it may be a static IP problem, but I've triple checked everything, and walked through everyhing as I did before....I've had port forwarding problems with this router since it was installed.

danno Posted September 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Not exactly sure what I'm supposed to explain to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Tell them that you're trying to forward a port, but it's not working. If they ask why, you can tell them BitTorrent if you want, or if you prefer not to, I guess you can tell them you want to host a quick game with your friends or something, and need to forward ports so that they can connect to you.
