Sector Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hi everyone.I have poor speed and I can't do anything aobut it.I did speed test 100 times. All of them were diffrent and showed different results. I don't know what speed should I set.I can't open a port. I used that link, but I can't do anything with it. http://www.portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/Utor/Utorindex.htmas you open it there coloms with (routers and firewalls. I've no idea what is firewall. So I don't know which one should I choose.I choosed DSL once and was doing exsactly what it says, but I couldn't finish it. Because it recuired DNS and enterning IP in adress bar. I don't know where to get DNS and why can't I enter Ip, because the brouser shows - page not found.Can anyone please help me...?!

Ultima Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Regarding the DNS stuff, make sure you've set up a static LAN IP. After you have, you'll know the answers to your questions about that.What modem are you using? What router? If you're not sure, list the devices between your computer and the wall.

Sector Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Where can I find DNS?! And I still can't understand what ip hould I use!? because when I go to the link (I added it before) it shows one IP. And when I go to command pannel it shows other one..=(Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) I'm not sure, but that is what i"m probably using...And I'm also interested about box"Utorrent's Port for incoming connections" at the same link....does it actuallu do something whrn you enter the port number?!thank you.

jewelisheaven Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 uTorrent's incoming connections port is so others can connect to you. You send out your IP and PORT to the tracker so it can tell other peers on the swarms you are on "Hey, here's a new guy he's on IP:PORT and you can connect to him that way".You can see an overview of your current windows networking settings by going to start->run->cmd -> ipconfig /allIt will show you a BIG list of information, if you are unsure still of what alot of it means, you can take a screenshot of it and upload somewhere. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=297020#p297020 is a post I made recently to someone who wanted specific instructions on how to do so so I hope that helps.Do you have any other questions?

Sector Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Yes I have the same questions I asked before, because I didn't get any answers on them...I still no idea where to get DNS.I don't know what speed should I set.I don't know why the "special window"doens't appear after I entered IP in address bar as the instructions said.I did ipconfig, I wrote the data, I entered it in requered boxes - but nothing happens...!? Please tell me what should I do. =(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I still no idea where to get DNS.I don't know what speed should I set.I'm not sure you read the guide I posted carefully, as it does describe clearly where you get your DNS server IP(s), and it does clearly tell you where/how you set the static IP stuff up.Telling us "nothing happens" means nothing to us unless you tell us what you mean by "nothing."

Sector Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 ok. I'll try one more time! mmm. So you asked me before "What modem are you using? What router? If you're not sure, list the devices between your computer and the wall."here is my answer - Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) does it say anything to you?!I mean can I find it from list of routers and firewalls?!And I still didn't get the link! May I ask you just to check my steps and say me what I'm doing wrong! I'll tape all of them in a few minutes.1.I press cntr+G to open a window at UT.2.I press "if port is forwarded propally" before that I've pressed radom port. and uncheck randomase ports.3.a new window appears and it says : Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.Checking port 33519 on 68.145.83.215...Error! Port 33519 does not appear to be open. Please see www.portforward.com for more information about how to map a port.It also says something about (PeerGuardian2 or Protowall is allowing utorrent.com) should be something done about that?! 5.I press the link - and a new window appear.6.THere are 3 coloms with lot's of routers and firewalls as I understood.7.right before it there is a small icon that says "Your external IP address is 68.145.83.215." should someting be done about that?!8.So i don't know which one I shoul pick(from all this coloms) so I press on DSL link200e. 9. a new window appear: there is an explanation how to get IP and right before it there is a box where you should enter your port number?! should I do that?!10. so I cklick on a link and a new window appear- statistick IP.11. I have windows vista so I choose te 2nd link.12.a new window appear with explanation.13. So I did as it said - oppened a command icon- wrote Ip, mask, gateway (but NO DNS -because I still didn't get it). so then I enter my Ip and gateway to a special box where I get 5 static IP. 14. Then I enter everything into the TCP/IPv4 exsept DNS. and as soon as I close I atomaticly disconet from the Internet. So here is where my problem is! Any recomendations?!p/s I also read a guide couple times, but still no results.mmm. somewhere it says : enter your gateway number in address bar- so I did- but the window where yous should type(admin and a pasword doesn't appear)cause it says page not found....?!?!THank you/..

Ultima Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Post a screenshot of the ipconfig output.Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC is not a router.If you're not sure, list the devices between your computer and the wall.Look at the devices connected between your computer and the wall -- physically -- and tell us the models.

Ultima Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 So... you're not the network administrator?By the way, Shaw has been known to throttle BitTorrent, so even if you get the port forwarded, you might not get good speeds anyway.

Sector Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 No i'm not.....eee. SO is there anything that can help me to make downloading faster?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 If you're not the network administrator, you most likely can't forward your port. You can try using UPnP in Preferences > Connection, but I doubt it'll work.Other than running the Speed Guide properly, I don't think there is anything that can be done about your speeds :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sector Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 ****well sorry I took your time.Thanks any way!!!!!=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Just to be 100% sure... have you tried visiting the default gateway IP address from the ipconfig output in your browser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
