BioHzrd Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Posted October 9, 2007 Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.Checking port 17560 on 62.31.15.104...Error! Port 17560 does not appear to be open.Please see www.portforward.com for more information about how to map a port.Please make absolutely sure that PeerGuardian2 or Protowall is allowing utorrent.com (72.20.34.145) in either of those programs. Those of you using ipfilter.dat should make sure the list does not include the website's IP. After making sure of this, re-run this test by refreshing the page (F5).
Firon Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Well, either you didn't configure Kaspersky properly, or you didn't set up port forwarding in your router properly.YOu don't forward 6881 to 6999, you just forward the port specified in µTorrent, for TCP and UDP.
tasinet Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 Disable Kaspersky and see if you get the same result. If not, the problem is with your port forwarding (did you use the correct IP address?)
Switeck Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 It is generally inadvisable to use a port in the 6881 to 6999 range...since MANY ISPs throttle or block those ports by default. Try a single port above 10000 and below 65500.
BioHzrd Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Posted October 16, 2007 So instead of having my router ipen to then i should have it open to say 10001 only but UDP and TCP ? and remove forwarding for 6881 etc... Ive got the specific port of uTorrent 17560 set to UDP and TCP in single port forwarding in my router config.
Switeck Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Only the 1 incoming port mentioned in your µTorrent setup should be forwarded for µTorrent...so if you use 17560 in µTorrent, that's all you need to forward on your router. Having 6881 still forwarded may leave your computer (more) open to security holes...or at least let outside "pingers" recognize that a computer is there.
BioHzrd Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Posted October 16, 2007 So i should have that port on Single Port Forwarding and Incoming and Outgoing the same nmber ???
