globalmark Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hi I have been trying to Forward Ports or whatever to get rid of the RED Circle in Utorrent , I have read and Tried most Things But I do not really have a Clue what I am doing and Never Works ????I have a Tompson speedtouch Modem ( maybe router as well but only one Output ) connected to Internet , this modem is Connected to a NETGEAR WGT624 v.3 wireless Router . which is Connected to 3 computers 2 by Ethernet cable and 1 wirelessly ... I have tried changing many things But then I lose connection to Internet or Router blocks me out , so I had to push Reset to Factory settings Buttons ( now just configered to get Internet ) .Utorrent goes from 1Kb/s to max 20kb/s but normally around 3-6 kb/s ( I am on ADSL 256kbs plan) so usually get a Bit better than This , There is lots of seeds , Maybe a Problem getting the Port open all the way through the modem and router >?? I don't know seems to give slightly more speed with UPnp on but not much .I have set up static IP and forwared Ports through the Netgear but speed remains about the same ..My problem is do I need to OPen or forward ports ?? is it a Firewall Blocking ??( I have tried at least once to turn all off -- my computer fire wall is been off for a Few days While I have been trying to sort this Problem ) Maybe Internet Provider DODO ( Australia ) is Blocking ( even though they say they are not ) ???Any Help is Appriciated .Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 If you have a router, you need to forward ports.What's the measured speed of your connection, both Down AND UP?(These values may differ considerably from speeds REPORTED by your ISP!)What settings are you using, as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G)?Have you changed any of µTorrent's advanced settings?Have you tried the troubleshooting guide?:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Nephilim Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hi, The Thompson speedtouch could also be a Router so you would have the Dreaded 2 Router Syndrome. You can Put the Thompson Modem into Bridged mode or turn the Second router into a Switch/Hub/WAP here is the guide for that procedure:http://forum.portforward.com/YaBB.cgi?board=Knowledge;action=display;num=1133918703The_Nephilim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
