Ultima Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 If you forwarded your port manually, there is no need for µTorrent to do anything automatically in the first place. As long as you set a static LAN IP address for your computer and forwarded the ports properly, you won't have to mess with the ports again.

Switeck Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 µTorrent supports UPnP, apparently your networking software and hardware does too...at least enough to pass the forwarding tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp1zy Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 its not luck.. i just found out what happend...my internet connection wasnt working properly so i was told by my internet provider to set my dns adresses manually... and that what made the port open.....so is it a new rule??? can we say that we dont need port forwarding anymore and all we need is to set the dns adresses manually??i leave the final word to the admins .....thats for sure..thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 They likely told you to set up a static LAN IP, which is useless if you are indeed using UPnP anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp1zy Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 yes..thats true.. i was actuly losing connection with the internet so they made me set those dns adresses...... i dunno what do you mean by its usless because actuly it solved my connection problem... i dont know olso if i was using upnp or not but its enabled at my router... but the upnp interface is not checked at my connection services menu.... anyway it did make u torrent port work without any port forwarding.. belive me..

Ultima Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 UPnP doesn't need a static IP address, and static IP addresses do not affect connections in terms of whether they get disconnected periodically or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 You could even manually port-forward your router to whatever LAN ip your computer is currently using at the moment, but you're possibly only 1 reboot away from needing to do it again...if your computer's LAN ip changes.
