Utorrent's Port for incoming connections 50165

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

UPnP isn't necessary if port forwarding is working.

NAT-PMP isn't necessary if port forwarding is working. It also isn't necessary if you don't have an Apple brand router.

Upnp and nat pmp buttons what do these buttons mean and should I have them checked

µTorrent manual - http://download.utorrent.com/utorrent-help.zip

* Enable UPnP port mapping allows µTorrent to communicate with the router to forward a port without your manual intervention. Some devices do not support Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), so you might still have to forward your ports manually. Disable UPnP if that is the case.

* Enable NAT-PMP port mapping allows µTorrent to attempt to forward a port with routers that support the NAT port mapping protocol (Apple products, for example).

NAT-PMP (NAT Port Mapping Protocol): An alternative to UPnP created by Apple, Inc. NAT-PMP is not as widely supported as UPnP is, and uptake of the protocol has been limited to Apple, Inc. products only thus far.

What firewall/antivirus/other security software do you have? You'll either have to create rules/exceptions to let uTorrent connect through them, or else remove them altogether.

I have iolo anti-virus which is non-stop stoping a trojan virus from utorrent and I have windows firewall which is set up to allow both port and utorrent
