ferminquant Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I followed the guide and everything went fine for about 3 or 4 days, and today I found that port forwarding doesn't work anymore. I have a linksys WRT54G v2 and already upgraded the firmware like it says in the site. But still the portforwarding doesn't work. I disabled my firewall and even used TCPOptimizer and its patch again. I checked that everything was correctly done in the router configuration and the router says the port is open, but utorrent still says the port is blocked. I enabled the protocol encryption and speed went a little up but the red exclamation point doesn't disappear from the bottom. I don't know why it stopped working since it had worked before, it just stopped working for no reason. I'm positive I don't have a double NAT problem since i checked that my modem doesn't even have that feature. Please help me, I don't know what to do, I don't even know why it stopped working.

Ultima Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 If you didn't set a static IP address outside of the Linksys's DHCP range, port forwarding is bound to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferminquant Posted January 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 um... Yes I did, I checked that everything was correct in the router including the IP of my computer. If I read enough in the forums to know about double NAT, which I don't have by the way, then I already read the part of static IP. So that's not the problem. Thanks for the help anywayYou see my router says its open in my PC's IP. But utorrent doesn't recognize it anymore.Do you think my ISP found out and out of evil decided to put my service on another NAT? I wouldn't think so because I have a public IP from them. I don't know if that stops them from doing so but... well it worked for quite a few days until today in the morning, and they don't work at night.

Ultima Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 So what modem are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferminquant Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Motorola SURFboard SB3100 Cable Modem, but I don't think that should be the problem because, like I said it was working properly at first. So what else could the problem be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferminquant Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 thanks for the help, after reading some I thought that might have been it but it turned out my IP starts 10.52.7.__ and not 192.168.100.xxx. So that is not the problem either. But like I've said lots of times before it worked for a few days, and it stopped suddenly. By the way, when I've talked to my ISP, they assigned private IP to every client unless you pay for a public one. Do you think if I get a public IP the problem would be solved?And also, could you recommend me a modem that doesn't have that feature available?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferminquant Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 thank you very much for your help. I got my public IP back again (they had taken it away for no reason) and it works again.thanks for all your trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Nice to hear it's resolved.Sounds like your ISP is looking to save costs by no longer providing full internet access.Good thing you got them to change their mind, at least for now.

ferminquant Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Well, I didn't really got them to do anything. My sister knows a guy that works there, and he is one of the guys in charge, so if it weren't for her I wouldn't have done it. To other people they won't change their minds so easily, I say this because my friend asked me to configure his computer for utorrent, and he's having the same problem as me.When he calls my ISP they say that he has to pay for a public IP. Is that even legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
