ssmeelink Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I checked Read if you're affected by... [ slowed/interrupted Internet connection | bad speeds in µTorrent ] and I am affected by this, however, I cannot access the router. My ipconfig /all reads this for my wireless;Dhcp Enable . . . . . . NoIP Address . . . . . . . 10.80.109.2Subnet Mask . . . . . . 255.255.252.0Default Gateway. . . . 10.80.108.1DNS Servers . . . . . . 10.80.108.1I set the static to 10.80.109.2, probably a bad thing. I followed the setup for the router, and am still having issues. Also, UPnP mapping fails almost everytime. Not sure why. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 You can ignore UPnP mapping if you're attempting to forward your ports manually... Nothing "bad" about setting your static IP to what you did. Belkin routers aren't all that great, truth be told. What modem are you using? What about firewall? Are you 100% sure you followed the port forwarding guide properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssmeelink Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 To be honest I'm not sure I followed the port forwarding correctly because I can't connect to the router. Shouldn't the router either be on 192.86.xx.xx the default, or on 10.80.109.2? I disabled UPnP mapping. Another curious thing is that my ports are closed on everything except browsing. I have no vpn, pop3, smtp, udp 6112 or anything. Correction on the router, it's a F5D8001 N1 wireless desktop card, which isn't listed on portforward.com. However I got the general idea from that, but if I can't connect to the router...how do I forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 10.80.108.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssmeelink Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 You see 10.80.108.1 is actually the ISP's access point, I can't log into that. So then, can I forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Nope. If your ISP controls the router, then you can't do anything about it... are you using wireless internet or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssmeelink Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 yeah, airimba, but they don't throttle, I know the port issue is probably computer specific because other people on this network (an apartment building wireless) can access pop3 and other ports. I just can't seem to open mine. No firewall is active and everything is disabled. It appears all of my ports are closed (canyouseeme.org) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Yeah then it's likely as I said -- they don't and won't offer a way for you to open your ports. Wireless internet providers typically give users LAN IPs only. Your only option would be to switch ISPs, if at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssmeelink Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Well, the thing is, other people can access pop3 and vpn (which I need for school), so this isn't just a network specific problem. And other members of the apartment can access torrents at relatively high speed connections. If the problem was on my side, what could it be? Because I'm pretty sure it's computer specific, at least that's what my intuition tells me (I can't use any port, so online gaming/Connecting to Purdue's Network is pretty much void). Any suggestions on how to begin troubleshooting on such a problem (besides reformatting the computer, which I'm sure is bound to help). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 What can I tell you then? If you have no control over the outermost router, then you're going to be firewalled, through and through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
