LuckyPHC Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 I have 2 PCs connected to a router sharing cable internetconnection. I set PC #1 with IP=192.168.123.1 to forwardport 56500, and PC #2 with IP=192.168.123.2 to forwardport 55500. Then I ran separate uTorrent client on each PC.Port forwarding worked well on PC #1, but I could never getport forwarding on PC #2 to work. The red exclamationmark was always present and the test confirmed port 55500 wasnot open. However, DHT=240 nodes, whatever that meant.Then the IP addresses of the PCs were swapped. Port forwardingworking/non-working statuses actually swapped. Therefore Icould not help thinking that port forwarding has affinity withIP=xxx.xxx.xxx.1 (the first IP in the LAN).Firewalls on both PCs were Norton 360 and were similarly set upto open ports 56500 and 55500 respectively, ie. if firewall letthrough traffic on PC #1 then should do the same for PC #2.My router is one if those with unknown manufacturer, only themodel number is NGR128. It was left at factory defaults asvarious settings did not show any bearing on port forwarding.Please help.Thank you
nxcess Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 Did you manually setup IP addresses on both computers? Or left it at default [obtain IP address automatically]?
LuckyPHC Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Posted August 10, 2007 They are manual static IP addresses.The LAN is still working well.
