homebob Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi,I'm having a problem with prot forwarding. I followed all of the insturctions at www.portforward.com and my utorrent program still gives me a the following error:Error! Port 37860 does not appear to be open.I have established a static IP address and I have my ActionTec GT701-WG modem set to forward Port 37860 to my static IP address.Any suggesting?homebob@cpros.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Your LAN IP Address from start->run->cmd /k ipconfig is setup in the rule on your modem on the same IP and PORT?Are there any other hardware devices between the actiontec and your computer? What about security software; antivirus firewall or flitering software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homebob Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 when I run cmd /k ipconfig I get the following:Ethernat adapter Local Area Connection 2= Connection-specific DNS Sufix= IP Address.................................=192.168.0.140 Subnet Mask..............................=255.255.255.0 Default Gateway.........................=162.168.0.1There are no other hardward devices between the modem/router and the computer.I only have the windows firewall and the Avast antivirus software running.

jewelisheaven Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 And your rule in the actiontec is PORT: inbound, outbound, or destination whatever is there 37860 IP 192.168.0.140 ?If that's the case check around if there is a place for the DHCP range it assigns. Some hardware doesn't do the forwarding to IPs in this range... ALTERNATIVELY try an IP like 180, normal ranges for this seem to be 1-150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homebob Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 My IP address 192.168.0.140 is set up in my actiontec modem under advanced setup/port forwarding. It is forwarded to Port 37860. So I don't understand what the problem isAny suggestions????hombob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 If your address is inside the DHCP range, it might not work. Find your DHCP range, or try a number higher then 149 and lower then 255 (eg. 192.168.1.187). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homebob Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I don't see anything about DHCP range in the modem.In the advanced portforwarding tab there are the followingThere are 2 fields for IP Port Range (from and to)Protocol TCP, UDP, GRE (drop down box)field for IP address2 fields for Remote IP Port Range (from and to)check box with Any IP/ checkedand a filed for Remote IP address with anyIP in that fieldOK I tried the following:I changed the IP address in both the modem and in the Network setup in windows in TCP/IP properties to 198.168.0.180. Still I get the same message when I test the portforward in Utorrent.Anymore suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 37860-37860 TCP 192.168.0.140 37860-37860 FROM anyIP and37860-37860 UDP 192.168.0.140 37860-37860 FROM anyIP looks goodHowever what's the first "any ip"? If that's saying to open it for any LAN IP that could be the problem. However other than that I haven't got any other ideas sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
