shutup_imtalkin Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Ok, so I'm almost CERTAIN that there is already a thread for this issue somewhere, but... I'm lazy, and at the end of my burning, fraying rope!!I have followed all the guides, I have accessed things I would never dream of accessing before (ie - my router, and DNS settings??)I have reduced the IP range by one, so I can allocate myself a static IP, I have tried to open a port through the router for utorrent, but it is still coming up with errors. It keeps saying there are no connections, and I have never seen the colour green on the interface!! *sob*I am not computer illiterate, I just need a complete walkthrough (that works!) *laugh*Appreciate the help, trying to avoid the abuse - thanks guys!!

schnurlos Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 First question: you're running a torrent?If not, try one of the test torrents http://www.slackware.com/torrents/slackware-10.2-install-d1.torrent or one here: http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.html (as you could read in http://www.utorrent.com/setup_guide.php).

Ultima Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 What firewall, what modem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutup_imtalkin Posted September 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I'm not sure what firewall I'm running... my antivirus program is Avast, and I have Spyware Terminator Shield running all the time which has blocked other programs in the past, but I don't have uTorrent in the block list (I checked)The modem is a Speedstream, and the router is a D-Link DI-524UP. I am running a wireless network, so I don't have any hard connection to neither the modem, nor the router...Thanks again for all your help, guys - tried everything I could think of, and was told to... now I'm just stuck!Freaky thing is... had same sort of issues with brother-in-law and Azureus - but got his working fine! *frown* hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 You don't need a physical connection. The SpeedStream... what model? It's probably a modem+router combo. Additionally (though probably unrelated to the failed port forwarding), you might want to disable UPnP in µTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutup_imtalkin Posted October 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 The SpeedStream is a 4200 - it's just a modem.I've followed all the instructions on portforward.com and am yet to see anything green! *laugh**sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 http://www.google.com/search?q=speedstream+4200+router+site:subscriber.communications.siemens.comLooks like a modem+router to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutup_imtalkin Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Thanks Ultima, I'm almost certain you have better things to do than clean up after me! *laugh*So... turns out the modem does have firewall settings and so forth, but I couldn't find the model on portforward.com... I'm not sure how the modem affects my ip settings and ports and so forth...? :-sI mean, the gateway, and dns, and ip addresses are all completely different *frown* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutup_imtalkin Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Ok... so goin' through the settings of the speedstream...Should NAT only be enabled, or NAPT only, or both?If both of them need to be enabled, do I then have to map my IP address with the modem?Do I have to redirect TCP and UDP ports to my, now-static, IP address?I have no idea what the "RIP" settings should be?I'm confused as to whether my UPnP should be enabled or not...Just a few questions, huh! *grin*Thanks, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutup_imtalkin Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Actually, Ultima... guess what!! I redirected some ports to some sort of recommended IP, and... the port is open and I have a green tick!!So... thank you very much for your help, this thing has been keeping me awake for the last fortnight! *laugh*Appreciate it, love it, needed it - you are a GOD!Another satisfied forum-er... *big smile* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
