Megaz Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 whenever i map my my port, i follow all the instructions properly, but it still doesn't work. My working port that I managed to map a while ago suddenly stopped working, and now I can't map another one. What's causing this and what should I do?

Ultima Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Did you set a static IP up for your computer when you forwarded the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megaz Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 yeah, and it worked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 And you set that static IP outside of the router's DHCP range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megaz Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 i'm not sure..whatever I did, it worked.is there anything I should do after mapping a port? like restart my router/PC/utorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Usually not... Check your router's config to find out what the DHCP range is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megaz Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 well, i used portforward to help me set one up, so I'm not sure if that means it'll be in range, but I'll check anyway.how do i find out the range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Dunno, it depends on the router. You're just gonna have to go rummage through the router configuration page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megaz Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 ok, i found it, and it is in the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Then you're gonna need to set the static IP outside of the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megaz Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 oh, okOk, set it out of range..and it still doesn;t work.What IP address shall I type into my routers 'add port' page? the one I type into the browser to open my router's page, or the IP address that I find when i go run>cmd>ipconfig (which is my static IP)?Okay, thanks for all your help, I finally fixed it! yaaaay.Thanks again.Sorryyy, one more thing, I've forwarded the port and it's all working, but the icon at the bottom of utorrent is still red. Shall I restart my PC or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 The static IP. Retarting your PC is probably not required, but it wouldn't really hurt to do so either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
