sythai Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hello there...If this has been covered before I apologise in advance. Have been using Utorrent for a few weeks now with no problems, still trying to understand everything, is going to take a while as I am definately not very computer/torrent wise just yet!Everthing was going fine until I had to re-install my 'atheros wireless network driver' then I went on to speed guide to do a port test and got this:'Error! Port 34181 does not appear to be open'Have been sent a link by a collegue to try a resolve the problem :http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Belkin/F5D7632-4/Utorrent.htmDone everything as listed and still no joy ? Also have tried turning off my firewall (PC Tools Firewall Plus version 2.0.0.25) even though never had to do this before had this problem? And still no good..... as this causing everything to run a lot slower I have set my download speed @ 30Kb/s and upload to unlimited? To stop my ratio from falling too much? I'm really not sure if this is the right thing to do, just guessing - am I doing this right?ISP: PlusnetRouter: Belkin F5D7632-4Computer: Samsung R20Platform: Windows Professional XP version 2002.... Just one more thing, down at the bottom of the screen is 'DHT : waiting to log in' what is this please ?Many Thanks,Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 When you set up the static IP, did you find out your router's DHCP range and set your IP outside it but in the same net block?Have you tried uninstalling pc tools firewall? (it does interfere even when you just close it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sythai Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Haven't tried uninstalling firewall yet .... will give it a go thank you. Just cant understand why it didnt cause a problem before I re-installed my 'atheros wireless network driver' ?If I understand correctly should I get rid of my firewall completely? If so what protects my computer from viruses etc?.... As for "When you set up the static IP, did you find out your router's DHCP range and set your IP outside it but in the same net block?" I'm not too sure what you mean or how I would do this? Sorry not being ignorrant, just not to clued up on this yet!Many Thanks,Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Router: Belkin F5D7632-4This protects you from hackers.Firewalls don't protect you from viruses anyway.The DHCP Range is controlled from the LAN settings on your router.

sythai Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I've found DHCP settings as below:DHCP server > OnOff (on is selected)The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network. It is not necessary to make any changes here. More Info IP Pool Starting Address > . . . xxx.xxx.x.xxx IP Pool Ending Address > . . . xxx.xxx.x.xxxWhat do I need to change here?

DreadWingKnight Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 192.168.x.x addresses don't need to be masked like you did.What are the two addresses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sythai Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Here they are....192.168.2.2 (IP Pool starting address)192.168.2.100 (IP Pool ending address) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 What did you set your static IP to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sythai Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 192.168.2.1 Think thats it, does that look right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Not really, depends on what your router's IP address is. I would use an address in the .150-.200 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sythai Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Getting lost here, thought that was my routers IP address.......... really do appreciate your time and trying to help me. Think I am going to have to wait until my mate comes back from hols, he knows more about this than me. It will probably take him about 10 mins to sort it out with the lap top in front of him!Well I gave it a try.... there really is more to this torent stuff than meets the eye!Regards,Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 If 192.168.2.1 is your router's LAN ip address, then your computer's LAN ip address needs to be something BESIDES 192.168.2.1 ...since it's already taken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sythai Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Right ok think might have it............ typed in RUN--->cmd---> ipconfigand gives me :IP Address.............. 192.168.2.2 (is this it ???)Subnet Mask........... 255.255.255.0Default Gateway......192.168.2.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 IP Address.............. 192.168.2.2 (is this it ???)Set your static IP to 192.168.2.150 and adjust your forwards to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
