jewelisheaven Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Yup yup. Well first off after you have configured your forwarding you will still need to change your settings from the default. A forum search with tiscali will show users have experienced problems with the limitations tiscali puts on your line, especially when filesharing. So I'd recommend being familiar with that even before you look at how to forward ports for your router.If you can login to your router, there should be a section for tools or networking.. and under that a "Port Forwarding" or "Virtual Server" area. If you cannot find those options, please advise further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyranick Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 But it just says "a firewall or router is limiting your traffic, please open up a port we can connect to", ive been into properties of my router and dont know what to do..it was fine before, i got the yellow box but at least i got fast speeds...is it just on wireless this happens? because its weird its happening now, on portforward utorrent "speed guide" things still says which ever port i pick is blocked!Even if i disable all my security i still get the issue. Is thier nothing else i can do? I like tiscali and dont wish to change, why is this happening now and not right from the start?other thing is im not getting "too bad" speeds, so far im at around 65 ish kbps when it would usually be around 300-400 ish so something is up...75 now...maybe uttorrent hates me Still on portforward router list thingy my speedtouch is not listed...why?I've gone through the complete guides and im still having issues, if i could just get this port open...

jewelisheaven Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Heh, well since I don't know your router.. if you really want exacting help, you can always take pictures of all the router property pages (feel free to censor information you think is personal).I know uploading to http://imageshack.us or tinypic.com works for other users.

Tyranick Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Its ok...my router says its what i put above by i typed my ip and my default gateway number and i found it was a Thompson ST585Ok i know managed to forward my port and all sorts of stuff but im still getting a red X in utorrent...i clicked the "test if port is forwarded" thingy and it says it isnt...but it is lol.Now what do i do? try enabling disabling utorrent things...downloading something with more seeds...restart my computer? edit Ok i restarted and tried a very well seeded torrent (lol beowolf has + 19000!!) and now my speeds seem to range from about a quarter of my max (130kbps) to about a third (170kbps). Still red X Edit2:Wow now its about half "200-260ish"...hmmmSomething tells me the port forward speed guide thing is broken and utorrent is lieing to me...i cant possibly getting these speeds without a suposedly "none forwarded port + mystery firewall"....hmmmm. Prehaps this utorrent 1.7.5 beta still has some bugs to iron out... edit3 final Ummm...i dunno wat i did buts it gone green now...w00t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
