Ultima Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 And therein most likely lies your problem... Try connecting your computer directly to the SurfBoard -- does the port forwarding problem persist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hm. It works when you plug it directly to the modem? That indicates that you might've forwarded the port incorrectly then...Reconnect the Belkin, and make sure you set a static IP up for your computer outside of the router's DHCP range.

chris reilly Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hi,I aint messed around with any port settings Ultima.Okay i am wireless again and the ports closed and slow again, i have my router set as 'static ip' but im not sure what a DHCP range is etc or what to do mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 No, you don't set the static IP in your router. I said to set a static IP up for your computer. The DHCP range can normally be found inside the router configuration page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris reilly Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Heya buddy,Both my machines have the same static IP. The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each computer: 'forever'DHCP server > 'on'However under clients, they show different IPSIP Address Host Name MAC Address192.168.2.2 pc 00:02:E3:24:15:74192.168.2.7 Laptop 00:14:A5:AC:49:E6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 ? Only one machine may be configured to an IP... or else you get networking conflicts. When one sets a static IP on windows... the router is irrelevant. You may statically set an IP on the router by MAC Address as you see there... which it apparently has already. But if you are trying to forward ports I'm not sure how well it will work if the router is still thinking it's DHCP. Actually it IS using DHCP but you're telling the router "hey, you see this MAC 12-34-56-78-90-AB, give it this IP 192.168.2.101" which allows you to keep the LAN computers updated if/when your internet goes out and you get a new external IP or DNS servers. (sidenote, thats what usually happened to me, my IP renewed and I had out of date DNS, so my internet was "dead" until I refreshed the DNS on the LAN PCs so it would pull from the router)... First I'd try getting uT to work from one computer over wireless. Be sure you configure your computer for your linespeed in the speed guide, then Ctrl-P -> BitTorrent and cut your connected peers in 2 because you're going over wireless. After you get one computer working, close uT and set up uT on the second computer. If you plan on using both computers simultaneously you will want to cut all your values in 2 for EACH computer (so they still add up to the same aggregate total). Too much upload can kill your connection... as can too many peers on your belkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris reilly Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I have no idea how to do anything man, any chance of a real easy guide? :$ (noob here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htmSimply set different static IPs for each computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
