ecwcwwe Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Okay, I have bellsouth Extreme 3.0 (3 Mbps/ 384 Kbps)The router I am under is the Netgear WPN824I have utorrent set to to xx/384 in the speed guide sectionEnable upnp port mapping is unchecked in the preferences section, and am using 38713 for the port forwardingI have added a port forwarding,Service Name Utor1Service Type TCP/UDPStarting Port 38713 Ending Port 38713Server IP Address 192.168.1.2 (which would be my ip)So, I have followed all of the things in http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/WPN824/Utorrent.htmHowever, I am still only getting about 20kB/s on download (upload is completely fine, as it is getting 35 kB/s)I believe it is because Utorrent still thinks I am not forwarding, as I get this message under the port:test"Error! Port 38713 does not appear to be open."It is possible that it has to do with static IP. So, to figure if THAT was the problem, I tried to follow http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htmSo, I did all of what it said (don't know if this means anything, but the default gateway and the prefered dns were the same, according to "ipconfig /all", so i entered them the same)So, all in all, it appears as if my static IP is correctly configured, especially since my internet is running without any stallANY idea what might be wrong?

Ultima Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 What modem are you using? How about firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Westell/Westell2100Wirespeed/Utorrent.htmIt's a modem+router combo. You have to forward from the modem to the router, or set the Westell to bridge mode (in which case you're going to have to make sure you have a copy of the PPPoE login information on hand).

ecwcwwe Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Well, I was able to set up the forward from the modem router (took a while to find, since its a different interface). I am now getting a green checkmark Thanks But, quick question. In the future, if my port for utorrent gets changed, will I need to forward that port on both the netgear and the modem, or can I open a large port range, and control which ports to open just from netgearWoohoo, now, when testing the test torrent in the FAQ, I am getting a good 250-350kB/s+ Getting an Okay download from my other downloads, but thats more than likely because of the other seeders. Guess it just means I can download multiple ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 You don't want to open a port range... play safe and just open another port on both routers if you ever change the port in µTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstarbuck Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 How does one go about opening a port on the router (I appear to have the same problem)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
