sanquin Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I can't seem to get my router to accept the ports I'm trying to open. The yellow icon always stays, saying no incoming connections. It's been 3 days now and I really don't know what to do anymore.P.S:This began after I re-installed windows XP, about 4~5 days ago.What I've tried:Port forwarding with different ports.Checking, rechecking, editing, reverting and all that kind of crap with my router and Utorrent settings.Following most tips I could find about this subject.The color of the status:Yellow, saying "no incoming connections".What the port checker from the Speed Guide writes:Error! Port 1132 does not appear to be open.What the Speed Guide shows my settings to be:upload limit: 22 kB/sconnections: 70Max active torrents: 4Upload slots: 3Connections (global): 130Max active downloads: 3What I have net.max_halfopen set to:8Operating system:Windows XP ProfessionalSecurity software installed:Zone Alarm, Avast!

jewelisheaven Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Don't know threatfire... what's your IP address when you connect directly to the modem? You can find out from start->run->cmd /k ipconfig if you can't click on the network icon in the tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanquin Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I connect via the router. 192.168.1.2. Or do you mean the public one ? And if so, why do you need to know it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 He wants you to check your IPA on the computer while connected to the modem. If you can't connect directly, look for a status page on your router and find the routers WAN IP address. Just the first two "fields" are needed to determine whether your modem has NAT.

sanquin Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Went to firefox, typed in the default IP, filled in the password as I manage the router, and went to status. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 1) be sure your modem doesn't have a router in it 2) try your IP above the default range for DHCP (most stop at 150, so choose something between 200 and 250).For #1 I don't know where exactly to look.. be sure there's nothing which looks like "subnet range" "subnet mask" or "LAN IP" settings in the modem.

sanquin Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 The modem doesn't have a router in it. Tried the port, no effect apart from that utorrent now had less trouble finding peers and seeds. I do see a subnet mask in the router settings under Basic Setup-DHCP, which is the basic 255.255.255.0. it also shows up under "status monitor", under "lan information".I knew how to set up utorrent. Before I reinstalled windows I had it set up just fine with always getting speeds of over 150 kB/s. The only thing that changed since then is that I reinstalled windows XP and maybe that I have a newer utorrent version now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
