mugs Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 i have followed the instructions on forwarding a port for my specific router linksys BEFW11S4v4 and but when i use the port checker built into utorrent i get this: Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.Checking port 46036 on 24.***.216.***...Error! Port 46036 does not appear to be open.Please see www.portforward.com for more information about how to map a port.Please make absolutely sure that PeerGuardian2 or Protowall is allowing utorrent.com (72.20.34.145) in either of those programs. Those of you using ipfilter.dat should make sure the list does not include the website's IP. After making sure of this, re-run this test by refreshing the page (F5). it is strange because sometimes it'll allow a connection, the peer will download from me for maybe 15-20 seconds and then it'll just disconnect, can anyone help me? btw** i now have it set to 192.168.1.105 for everything.and again, the port in the screen shot is different, but everytime i change the port i update it. and here is a link to the discussion i had at the portforward.com forum..http://forum.portforward.com/YaBB.cgi?board=Software;action=display;num=1161869795 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
