Switeck Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Your work's networking hardware may simply not be Microsoft Window XP's (or Vista's) UPnP-compatible. If that's the case and the message saying UPnP port forwarding failed bothers you in any way, just disable UPnP in uTorrent.Keep in mind that at work, even if you're allowed to use BitTorrent software that the network and internet connection are probably a highly shared resource...so put uTorrent's settings lower than you might otherwise...and disable extra features that generate extra traffic, such as DHT, Local Peer Discovery, and Resolve IPs. Also don't use anywhere near 100% of the internet connection, or everyone's connection at your work will suffer. It's even a good idea to set max Global and Per-torrent connections much lower than Speed Guide (CTRL+G) suggests for any given upload bandwidth.Are you sharing a T-1 line perhaps, with ~1.5 megabits/second (~180 KiloBYTES/second) max speed in both direction?

freestyler Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I've disabled upnp port mapping and other stuff, but still dowes'n work, i've tried with proxy as my berowser connects through proxy to the webpages but still doesn't workI'm thinking that I don't have any ports open, just those for web, proxyThe port forwarding test failed every time, even when I tested with the port my proxy uses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 You can't do port forwarding when behind a proxy. You will always be unconnectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
