Monco Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi all,I've got a Linksys BEFSR41V4 router. I've forwarded a port which utorrent gave by default. My pc has a static IP, I turned off UpNp on both utorrent and router. But it doesn't make any difference, my connection is mostly yellow, and sometimes red. I've never had a green connection. The port check says the port is closed, even though I opened it.Does anyone know what I should do?Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 If your computer has a static IP, it certainly doesn't seem like you sset it properly outside of the router's DHCP range (which defaults to 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.149 on most Linksys routers)... Additionally, what modem are you using? What firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monco Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Thank you for your reply.I just tried 192.168.1.103, but it didn't matter. The port appears to be closed. Modem: Speedtouch 510. Firewall: only the one that comes with Windows Vista. It shouldn't be blocking uTorrent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Outside of the DHCP range is the keyword. 192.168.1.103 is still well within 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.149. Something like 192.168.1.50 would be outside the range.The modem is also a router... you're going to have to check the manual's advanced port forwarding guide regarding double-NAT situations.

Monco Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Funny, I didn't think it was a router as well. I've always assumed it was a modem only, since it has only one ethernet port. Guess I only needed a switch, rather than a router.I read you message wrong. I've done some port forwarding in the past, and I was able to forward some ports for the Xbox 360, which had an IP within the DHCP range, so I didn't know that it was necessary to pick an IP outside of the DHCP range. I'll look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Linksys routers are typically picky about what IPs they forward do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllGamer Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 limit uT max global to be less than 100 connections (say like 99 or less)Linksys firmwares are known to have problems with too many simultaneous connection due to their loooooooong time out.is too bad these old routers are not upgrade-able to the DDWRT firmware, else your problem is fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariele2 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 hi! i have a LINKSYS BEFSR41V3 and when have active lots of Port Forwarding at the same static IP, it NOT WORK FINE. Try to enable port forward for only the utorrent. And try now.It should work fine if windows firewall is open to the port, and if you have another firewall o antivirus must do the same.
