Sjwdavies Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hi guys this is my first post on the forum.Basically, i've a laptop and a desktop PC.I updated the version on the laptop to 1.7.2 and am downloading a torrent and getting really good speeds - connecting to 21(439) seeds. The laptop connects wirelessly to my router and I have setup port forwards with no problem what so ever - i've a green tick in uTorrent and testing using the test port forward button returns success.However, when I try downloading the SAME torrent on my Desktop PC, at the same time, I'm only getting 1(439) seeds?I've setup the router the same as the laptop to forward the ports, however it appears to work for a while, but then when i use the test port forward button, it says the port is not open - despite working fine 5 minutes ago?There seems to be a problem where the port forward works fine for a short period, then something breaks? Is this a common problem, have i done something wrong?This problem has only occured since I updated to version 1.7.2 on the Desktop PC?Any help or advice would be greatly, greatly apprecieated.

Ultima Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 You're not supposed to be forwarding the same port to two different computers. Each computer must listen on a unique port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjwdavies Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hi,sorry for the confusion if I wasn't clear. The two PC's are setup with different ports.Any ideas what's causing the ports to work for a short while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
