Noyce Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hello,- First off, thanks for this great utility! -> I've recently moved into a building that provides DSL for residents, but I don't have permissions/access to the (Netgear FVS318) router in order to create & enable a port-forwarding rule.As a result, transfer speeds lag tremendously of coarse...just wondering if there's anything more I can do or if it's a lost cause as along as I can't get into the router.Any feedback is appreciated.Thanks.

1Bullet Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 use a wan port scanner on the public IP such as grc.com , sheilds up, this will show ifyour isp's router has any open ports . You maybe suprised to see a couple of ports are open. just a guess port 22 and port 443. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Open ports != forwarded ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noyce Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Never figured I'd dread seeing those fully green "Stealth" results over @ GRC! Anyway, thanks for the feedback, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Something I've noticed when trying to seed while firewalled is I couldn't hold onto peers. I'd seldom have more than 5 connections at once, even on a torrent with supposedly 50 peers. The few I have tend to disconnect within 5-10 minutes of making a connection. Usually they reconnect, but not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
