Trouble5 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 First of all, please excuse my ignorance. I really want to get uTorrent working! uTorrent is running very slowly, extremely slowly. Only 1 kB/s slow! The icon on the bottom is a red exclamation point. And on the speed guide screen, when I test my port it says that it is incorrect. Then I get referred to this site that has all of these router names on it and then I just get lost. What is a router? Do I even have one, is a router neccessary? Is a wireless modem the same? Because I'm pretty sure I have one of those.When I crawl under the computer, I see three box-like things that may indeed be routers. They're labeled RCA, ARRIS and Belkin. The one called Belkin is the smallest and ARRIS is the largest. Is one of these the router? Once I know what my router is, how do I get my Port number and get uTorrent up and running?! If you can help me, I will be forever in you debt!-Scarlett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawny Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 It's posible that he uses the Belkin router. I have also an Belkin wireless router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble5 Posted September 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Ultima- I went on the site you said and it was a lot of help. Until I got stuck. I entered my network gateway thing into my web browser and then a screen came up that told me to enter in my username and password. I can't get it! I have windows xp. I tried admin/admin, my email and my password and even just left it blank. Eventually I got to a page that said "HTTP 401 - Unauthorized" Any ideas? Please help! Oh and I don't think I'm wireless. Do I still have a router? Can I use uTorrent without one? Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 What is the exact router model you're using (along with manufacturer)? You should know if you were able to access the configuration page, seeing as how you'd need to have visited portforward.com... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble5 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 My router isRCA/Thomson Cable Modem Gateway DCW725But that's not on the forward ports page! HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Consider asking your ISP, or consulting the manual for the hardware -- that's all I can recommend, as the possibilities are *essentially* infinite as to what the username/password combination can be.
