mj Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Folks:The tragedy with me is i am able to download but most probably other users can't connect to my pc (meaning I am unable to be helpful to others). Since this is an unethical thing, i want to get rid of it, but don't have any single idea how.The port is not forwarded to (or from, i can't understand) my pc, the "test if port is forwarded properly" is confirming this. There is also the red icon, in the bottom, on the main window of the utorrent software confirming this. However, "seeding" happens sometimes, but most of the times it is "queued seed" on my utorrent software.I have been to portforward.com as the utorrent suggest to go for knowing how to forward port.On portforward.com, they have given the port forwarding information specific to a variety of routers. Various router manufacturers and their models are listed on the website. I don't know which one am I using. Now here lies my problem:I am on a LAN which is quite wide (around 10,000 pcs are connected with that LAN). I want to know is the device, from where the cable is coming to my pc, my router? That is actually a switch or a hub not a router. My network goes something like this:Server (which is connected to the internet using what way I dont know, but one thing is certain that it is connected using quite a powerful connection)SwitchA group of PCsAnother SwitchAnother group of PCsAnother SwitchAnother Group of PCs...And I don't know how long the sequence goes and where comes my pc in that order. Most probably there are more than one servers.Portforward.com says my external ip (the external ip of the router i am connected with) is: 202.133.73.182 Could that ip be of the switch from where the cable is coming to my pc? If yes, I can easily get the name of the manufacturer and model number of the router/switch. If not, and if the ip address belongs to the router my server is connected with, it is almost impossible for me to know the manufacturer and model number of the router. My internet Cable operator is a very suspicious idiot, he won't tell me the model number of the router of the server my pc is getting internet connection from.Please somebody help me. I know staying on utorrent without being helpful to other users is very unlikeable. I don't want to be a leacher. I want to stay and get benefited and benefit others. I don't want to leave utorrent, but if the problem persists, i will have to leave as other respectable members of utorrent may not like it that i am unable to be helpful to them.You can help me by letting me know of any Windows XP option or any software that can tell me the manufacturer and the model number of the router i am (indirectly) connected to to access the internet.Ardently awaiting your helpful replies. Please do reply soon.MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
