charlesb Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Please help,I've been using Utorrent for a long time,I never had any problems,now I changed my provider this week and started having problems.the modem works fine whennot downloading then I start Utorrent and after awhile the modem goes dead,when I check the status of the modem it says connected but it doesn't work even closing Utorrent wont help and you cant go on the internet also.While writing this it went dead.What's frustrating is when I shut down the moden,I click on the icon and it never connects,I have to reboot,as soon as I click on it it connects easily.To-day I re installedWinxp,I was told that I might have a virus so I listened and now all that effort is for nothing because it solved nothing.Please help,it would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

jewelisheaven Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 You sure it's not the modem freezing on you OR your ISP blocking you from using internet. Check the router's WAN IP from the modem... 192.168.x.x 10.x.x.x 172.x.x.x are NAT IPs and mean your ISP is blocking your modem from giving you a real IP.

jewelisheaven Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 If the modem is freezing, you need to reduce your settings. I mentioned router but if you don't have one, and your IP Address from start->run->cmd /k ipconfig is in that range then it's probable your modem includes one. The How-To includes steps for troubleshooting further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 So you lowered the peer limits?? How low? Lower it more Hmm yeah that IP means you're behind a router. How did you get that external IP address information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Two have two sets of IPs in the default ipconfig output ... I don't know what that means I think sp2 is too outdated now that SP3 is on its way out. Keep in mind it IS from 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
