tchezwizz Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 My port forwarding isn't working and hoping that someone might be able to solve my connectivity issue. I've spent hours on portforward.com and many many other sites...1) Static IP is configured2) Linksys BEFW11S4 router is properly configured to forward the right port3) UnPnP is uncheched in Utorrent 1.7.74) NAPT in my Alcatel SpeedTouch 510 DSL modem is configured to forward my port from my external IP to my router IP (router is configured for my PC's IP)5) Windows XP is my OS and i've turned off every firewall installed...Each time I check the port the checker tells me the port isn't open and I can't get a ping of it, it times out each time.Any suggestions that might help?

tchezwizz Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Static IP is 192.168.1.136, which is working fine (checked my ipconfig)The portforward.com guide doesn't say anything about giving my DSL modem a static IP and i've turned off windows firewall, can't find any others.Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Linksys routers have a specific requirement for static IP addresses.Change your static IP to .1.36 and adjust your forwards to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchezwizz Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Static IP is reset to 1.36 as are forwards in my router.Still no luck, port is closed and pinging still comes back timed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_headshot Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Maybe there's something wrong with the torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchezwizz Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Not really, I can download althought at slow speeds and it prevents me from properly seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 What internet security software do you have installed? (Antivirus, firewall, antispyware, IP blocker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornangel Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Do you have cable or PPPoE for your ISP? Maybe you'd need to bridge your modem?http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=39990 jewelisheven threw a great link in there which pertains to Linksys that may help ya.

tchezwizz Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 My windows firewall is turned off, I've configured my Norton for the port and I have AVG for spyware, no IP blocker.My ISP is PPPoE. I've configured a NAPT to open up the port from my modem to my router. Isn't that bridging? I'll give the link a try and get back.ThanksUpdate: well more hours spent but to no avail... I'm pretty sure it's a NAT problem with my modem. I've been able to turn of the firmware firewall and my NAPT configuration indicates that the right port is "established", but when I ping, my port still times out. I'm pretty sure that my modem is not "communicating" properly with the router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
