Un00b Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I am getting a RED ball. I'm using Windows XP with SP2 but have the Windows Vista Icon Pack installed. The rotour I am using is a DLINK DI-604. I have made sure my port has been sucessfully forwarded and my firewall is OFF....Yet I am still getting this annoying red NAT error. Can anyone help? UpNP is off and DHT is on.P.S Whats the difference between the yellow and red ball?EDIT: On my other computer Utorrent gets a green ball...Heres a screenshot of my rotour settings.I know its a Dynamic PPPOE but my other computer gets a green ball and it uses the same rotour settings.Thanks In Advance - Problem Solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 You need to use different ports for each computer, and forward to the correct IPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un00b Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Sorry I forgot to mention that both computers are using seperate Utorrent ports. For my IP address I just opened my command prompt and typed in ipconfig and used the ip there(thats right?) I still don't understand why I am facing the red NAT error..everything is forwarded properly and this should be working! When I said the other computer uses the same rotour settings I didn't mean the port Thanks In Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Yeah, but each PC has different IPs. It's probably obvious, but sometimes people make simple mistakes like that.What firewall do you have on the PC with the NAT error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un00b Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 The PC is just using Windows Firewall..thats it; and it's disabled too. I know that both computers have different IP's and I forwarded them accordingly.(Atleast i think xD, I used Ipconfig)btw whats the difference between a yellow and red NAT error?So any other ideas?

Un00b Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Beaufo, go to www.portforward.com ..If the instructions there don't work maybe you're having the same problem as me. Help wanted Thanks In Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Yellow is indeterminate, red is bad. Um, the PC with the red one, try turning the WF back on and manually adding that port in its config... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un00b Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Just tried turning on Windows Firewall...no luck, still a red ball. I am using port 37915 and on Protocol encryption outgoing is enabled. I allowed incoming legacy connections.Thanks In Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un00b Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I just tried the Shieldsup service and here is what happend:So, any other ideas?Thanks In Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Well, SOMETHING is blocking µTorrent from listening on the port, but I have no idea what it could be...All I can think of is get a list of processes with Process Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hm. Random question: have you set your computer to have a static IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un00b Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I don't think, I believe it's a PPPOE Dynamic...On my first post I have a screenshot.My other computer gets a green ball so I don't think that is the case...maybe Thanks In Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Yep, but I'm asking about your computer, not the router Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un00b Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Umm..I never knew there was a difference xD Anyway I don't recall setting up a static IP for neither computer. How can I check that?Thanks In Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Un00b Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 So if i have a dynamic PPPOE and a Static IP, do you think it will still work?Or do you think something is blocking it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 PPPoE is entirely unrelated to the computer's IP address, and setting a static IP address for the computer is definitely recommended. From your list of processes and hardware, nothing pops out as something that would block your ports =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un00b Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Okay then I will set up a static ip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un00b Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Ok...static IP is now setup, ball is yellow currently, not green...but yellow. Atleast it's not red...then again they're both bad. I am one step closer to a nice green ball! Ok umm now what?I feel so CLOSE to fixing this irritating problem - EDIT: Nevermind IT'S RED AGAIN....... Thanks In Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un00b Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 ...Omg, I deserve to be shot. I just enabled UPNP on utorrent and I got a green NAT. I can't BELIEVE I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS....Speeds are TRIPLED now!!! I believe I saw on a guide that a DI-604 didn't allow UPNP...Well after looking at the routor I saw an option to turn it on...it was already turned on, so I just had to do the same with utorrent.Thank you all for your great support.

Ultima Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 >.>With all the problems people have had with UPnP, it totally slipped my mind that you should try it... I guess I sorta lost faith in it ;\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un00b Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Haha, thanks anyway though...I'm just happy it's working now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
