portforwarding problems

[rickstockman]

Hi I am having problems trying to open a port to forward.

I have a netgear wgt624 router and I set the portforward with the PF program

here is the error I get

Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.

A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.

Checking port 48610 on 74.226.220.48...

Error! Port 48610 does not appear to be open.

Please see www.portforward.com for more information about how to map a port.

Please make absolutely sure that PeerGuardian2 or Protowall is allowing utorrent.com (72.20.34.145) in either of those programs. Those of you using ipfilter.dat should make sure the list does not include the website's IP. After making sure of this, re-run this test by refreshing the page (F5).

Hi, Did you Setup Port Forward on your Router?? If NOT have a look at this Guide for your Router:

http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/WGT624/Utorrent.htm

You will Also NEED to Setup a Static IP for your Computer, so also Read this guide on How to Choose & Setup a Static IP:

Thanks for the response I have and did set up the portforwarding and the static ip address

I used the port forwrding program (PF) and i recheck the NETGEAR instruction on line to ensure I did it correctly lI double check that the static ip is working using ipconfig /all

I use pc cillian for my fire wall and I added utorrent in the exdception list to alllow thru

any more suggestion I would really like to use this service but the last time I down loaded a 350 mb file it took 11.5 hours not good

Please help

What is the make & model of your MODEM?? Also try to Temporarily Disable your Firewall to see if that is causing you to be blocked.

I am using bellsouth westell 890 modem I have disabled the firewall and searched for PeerGuardian2 or Protowall cannot find it, I have also serch for ipfilter.dat did not find I didn't think I would because I did not install any of them but checked just the same I have rebooted the router and modem I f I use my verizon USB 720 modem the ports are open but it is just to slow.

I am at a complete loss as to what else to do.

your continued help and suggestions is much appreciated.

Well that modem appears to be just a modem sometimes they turn out to be Combo units. Try putting your Router in the DMZ/Static NAT mode and retest the port in uTorrent let me know what happens when you retest the port.
