The Green Light Blues

[solidrogue]

Greetings! Like a lot of people I am having problems getting my "green light" to come up. I think I have everything set correctly but *shrug* I am certainly not a computer genius by any means. Basically my connection icon stays at "yellow yield sign" or just plain red (is this a NAT error message?). Here is some info I am sure is required:

Network: DSL (speed test says 2.6 megs / sec)

OS: Win XP

Modem/Router: 2Wire 2700HG-B

Software: Trend Micro PC-cillin

I have verified that my port is forwarded properly (as far as the router is concerned) When I use utorrents ability to check if the chosen port is forwarded properly it says that it is not. (I have no idea why)

Really, I am as you may have noticed by now, pretty new to this and the problem will more than likely turn out to be just a box that needed to be checked, but I have exhausted my own ability to troubleshoot this properly.

thanks again

since you mention 2.6 megs, I assume you have looked for the wrong value to set µT up.

µT needs to be set up according to your upload speed.

Please check that.

Wrong settings might be also the cause for the error message because your router might be overwhelmed with connections to act propperly.

Ive made sure I had the correct value selected as you suggested - still nothing.

so if you are sure you have set the right speed, then follow the guides on portforwarding.com if you don't get a green light it means you did NOT do the protforwarding correctly.

Or we can verify you used settings close to your line's ability by giving us some more info?
