SinzCity Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Greetings,Regardless of what modifications I make- I am stuck with a Yellow triangle notifying that there are no incoming connections. I really do appreciate any info that can help me out with this problem- I am just baffled at this point. I've followed all guides on the board to a T (I believe).Checked my port MANY times under different configurations and cannot verify an open port... I'm using 58000 atm.I am using ZoneAlarm and PCillin - both of which have been configured to all communication to the port that I have uTorrent set to.My download rate rarely exceeds 30 kB/s and upload is typically higher.. around 40-60 kB/s. This is all with between 5-8 torrents downloading and about 16 Seeding torrents.The interesting thing is that with Azureus- I've been able to reach Download speeds as high as 400 kB/s with a single torrent. When I downloaded one of the suggested torrents known for high DL speeds (Open Office) from the link provided in the tutorial I was able to reach only 53 kB/s.Another example is this- I'm downloading a torrent now that reads this in the Peers Column: 2 (1262) and Seeds: 2 (323) and it's not downloading even though I set it to Forced Start.Info:OS - XP ProISP - Comcast (Broadband Cable)Modem - RCA Model DCM305Router - NoneConnection Speed Testing:D: 14618 U: 1376D: 14784 U: 1379D: 13393 U: 1380Configurations:Connection Type: 1 MbitMax Upload rate: 138 kB/sPlease help guys.... I'm really trying here but I'm not gaining any ground. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 You sure the measured speeds for your connection aren't a bit high due to ComCast's SpeedBoost feature/s?I'm on ComCast cable, but I only have 384 kilobits/sec sustained upload bandwidth. It may burst higher than that occasionally, but I can only sustain 40-43 KiloBYTES/sec upload speed in µTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinzCity Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 You bring up a good point Switeck.... can you post the link that you used to check your connection speed plz.Lookin for more suggestions please... I'm still getting crappy DL and UL connections and the Yellow Triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I used µTorrent to discover via trial-and-error what my effective max upload speed is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinzCity Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have been able to get a green light on my connection after hours of trial and error.... but it is inconsistent as it unpredictably switches to a yellow triangle- the DL/UL stream is still less than impressive.Thanks for the help but looks like I should search elsewhere.

Ultima Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 You set a static IP up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 ComCast *SHOULD* tell you what your line's rated speeds are both up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinzCity Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Ultima:No.. I haven't set my IP to static- I must have missed that on the guide I'll give it a shot.Switeck:I tested my connection speed on a website- I understand that Comcast has something called a power boost- but I've tried a wide range of UL/DL settings ... and none seem to improve performance.UPDATE:Ultima - I tried setting to a static IP but couldn't establish an connection at all- I don't think that my ISP authorizes Static IP's.

Ultima Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Static LAN IP isn't within your ISP's juristiction, only static WAN IP.http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htmAs the setup guide mentions, your static IP should be *outside* the router's DHCP range.

SinzCity Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Thanks Ultima-The Setup guide gives directions for individuals with routers - I am connected directly from the Modem without the use of a router.Earlier when I disabled DHCP and entered static IP info the range found in IPCONFIG /ALL I was unable to connect to the internet at all.Perhaps I am going about something wrong, as far as changing to a static IP.UPDATE:By the way.... I think that there is something really very wrong here ... because I am getting Uploaded from at over 40 kB/s and Downloading at only around 9 kB/s.I have never had this many problems with an application before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
