SeldenSeen Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hey everyone,Again, someone with the same problem, the yellow triangle or "can't connect to peers". Which basicly means all my downloads are really slow.I did the following on my belkin router:Forwarded the port specified,I did the following with Kaspersky security:Created the rules.Now when I check to see if the forwarded port is opened, it's not. Even though I forwarded it. I've spent countless hours trying to find the right settings and went to all the walkthroughs, and still I get it.Now my question is: have I overlooked something, or is this ISP related? My router is an old Belkin one but still I followed the guide and set a static IP adress, forwarded the port on my router, and created the neccesairy rules for kaspersky. I also enabled encryption to see if it was my ISP's doing.Any help? Thanks in Advance,SeldenSeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Recreate the rules, reforward the port, being sure to specify your computers port and address, and try the following IPA's to see if you have a modem with some hidden settings.http://192.168.1.1http://192.168.1.100http://192.168.1.254http://192.168.100.1http://192.168.100.100http://192.168.100.254Bypass your router first, and also load a http://distibution.openoffice.org/p2p torrent and see if it changes to green while bypassing the router.

SeldenSeen Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Well firstly, I know it's not my ISP cause my friend on the exact same ISP can download fine via torrents, so then I thought it was my firewall, I uninstalled my firewall, opened utorrent, again the triangle, then i downloaded another firewall (comodo) set all the rules that were found in on of the topics made about it. Forwarded the port according to this http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Belkin/F5D5231-4/Utorrent.htm walkthrough (and I set the settings so i have a static IP adress, being 192.168.2.136, then forwarded the port via the virtuel server menu (which in my case was 47554) and it still gave me the same error. Maybe I'm just too dumb to make it work because from what I've heard it worked perfectly fine for everyone I know and they didn't even have to tweak any settings.I get download speeds of 20-50kb/sec which is rediculously slow. The thing is my upload is fine cause I'm uploading more than I download.I tried the OpenOffice test and I got 200kb/sec after about 2 minutes, then exited the download. I take it I'm just on a bad file then? It has 20(86) seeds 10(136) peers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Is 136 outside your DHCP range? Try something like 214 or 17. 2-99/150-254. Forwarding an IPA inside your DHCP range is a no-no. Quirky routers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeldenSeen Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 my port range is 2-100 I think, so yeah it's outside my portrange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 You think? :/ a typical range is 100-150. Be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeldenSeen Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I'm changing it to 240 to check. Thanks for your time man, appriciate the "live help" Just so I know i'm doing everything correctly, does it require I reboot after I change my static ip from 192.168.2.136 to 192.168.2.240 and forward the port to the same ip.Ok just so I know it's not my other settings I'll list them here to be sure:Global max number of connections 150Maximum number of connected peers per torrent 150Number of upload slots per torrent 5Protocol encryption ENABLEDPort used for incoming connections 47554Maximum upload rate: 50Max download rate 200If you have msn, let me know I'll add you so I don't have to keep flooding the forums.

GTHK Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yeah I'm hanging out while I do testing on µT, trying to reproduce something for alus (one of the program developers). Eventually though, I shall take my leave to play Paper Mario (GCN).Anyway, if you have doubts about your settings, click the triangle thingy, press the speed test button, and run it with all your torrents stopped. Oh, and don't use the Miami server, there has been a few... problems in the area. Once you have your upload result, pick your upload from the drop down list in that speed guide menu in µT. Round down.And posting in the forum is fine, if other people see your issue they might get ideas on troubleshooting, plus Ultima or jewelisheaven could pop in some time.

SeldenSeen Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Download Speed: 5994 kbps (749.3 KB/sec transfer rate)Upload Speed: 704 kbps (88 KB/sec transfer rate)(bear in mind though that's an american server, and I'm belgian so yeah. 200 down 50 up should be fine? And i changed my static ip to 192.168.2.240 and again forwarded the 47554 port to my static ip adress and the triangle still remains, when I check if the 47554 port is opened it's not.. any suggestions? :s Cause I'm totally lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I've heard of routers that don't port forward correctly, and belkin has made some crappy gear before, try bypassing the router like I suggested earlier, you do have a modem right? The router might be crap. Are you using PPPoA/PPPoE on your router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeldenSeen Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 My sister and brother are on the router.. if i bypass the router my brother and sister won't have any internet anymore..And I have no idea what PPPoA.. is.. care to explain? or should i google.

GTHK Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 PPP is a data transfer method, some ISP's use it, and it requires logging in. Can you try these addresses and see if any lead to your modem? What's your modem make/model? (Not your router ).http://192.168.1.1http://192.168.1.100http://192.168.1.254http://192.168.100.1http://192.168.100.100http://192.168.100.254 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTHK Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 A VoIP modem? I wonder if you have to port forward... the only thing I can recommend at this point is bypass the router when no one is using it, only for a few minutes as a test. If it still doesn't give the OK, try those addresses again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeldenSeen Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Well the router is in my bro's room and the wire isn't long enough to plug into my computer.. so I guess I just need to grab myself a better router? will that fix it? :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I want you to bypass the router to test it first, that's the thing :/. It can also be the modems fault, or a software firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeldenSeen Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Well that's the thing I can't bypass it cause the network cable isn't long enough to reach my room.. i'm guessing i'm f-ed then? hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Not necessarily, try updating your routers firmware, if it's a bug that's been fixed, that should do it. You don't have a laptop or anything? Another way to bypass the router, set router to bridge mode for wired connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeldenSeen Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 When I try running the update on my router, it doesn't do anything.. so I guess there's no updates of firmware for it.. it's a cheap Belkin router so yeah.I can however put myself outside the NAT firewall, would that do the trick?

GTHK Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 If you're talking about DMZ mode, that's crap. If that's an actual option though, maybe as a test, followed by trying those addresses I listed again to see if you can find a modem config page. For updating, you normally go to the manufacturers website, download the upgrade, and load it into the upgrade page, not sure about Belkins though, look for a manual online or physically.

SeldenSeen Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Nope didn't work, haha gonna try to look for a firmware update.Went to the official site, checked my router-- no firmware updates.. yay for me.pfff what a joy I spent my whole day trying to figure otu how to make it work and no luck at all... guess i'm doomed to have slow downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
