bossa Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hi all Could some one please advise me ?I have just started Utorrent with a router and after using portforwards guide I tried the port test and got the 'port does not seem to be open ' message. I also have the yellow symbol at the bottom which has turned red (usually yellow). Funny thing is torrents seem to be downloading ok.Should I be concerned? What should I do?I was using a standard ADSL modem previously and the symbol was green. As a test I swapped back from the router to the modem there was no change in dowloading but the symbol changed to green.Any advice will be greatly apreciated. ThanksPS I am using Peer guardian but I have had no problems before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 You didn't set up the router's port forwarding rules properly then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossa Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 As far as I know I did set the forwarding rules as the Portforward guide told me to .User the port selected in Utorrent in the relevent boxes and also the static IP adress save and reboot router.Sorry I am new to routers.There were no other instructions for my paticular router (SAMR 4114)Should I really be concerned ?.I tried downloading OPen Office as a test and everthing was fine apart from the yellow symbol.ThanksMerged double post(s):UltimaYou of course were right.After a bit of flapping about I looked at the Safecom forum and found the answer .I had put my static IP adress instead of the one assigned to my router. Now I heve changed it to my routers adress the speed test says OK and I have the green symbol.ThanksHopefully this will help other people with the same questionEDIT by silverfire: The edit function exists for a reason. Double posting instead of editing is negligent and unnecessary.So sorry won't happen again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
