sanquin Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 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.info:My public IP starts with: 82.74I tried enabling and disabling upnp, tried the net_bind_ip "fix", both didn't help.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 6112 does not appear to be open.What the Speed Guide shows my settings to be:upload limit: 25 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! Home edition, Threatfire.Router model:Emonent nShare EM4422. (Don't know moden)ISP (Internet Service Provider) being used:@homeConnection type:Cable, 256 kB/s I believe.Speed test:Download: 203,4 kB/sUpload: 25,3 kB/sP.S:This began after I re-installed windows XP, about 4~5 days ago.

GTHK Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 So did it forward fine before the install? Also, a router is a firewall, remove ZA as it's a piece of crap. What's the first half of your public IPA according to your router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanquin Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 1: Look in my post, it says what my first half is i believe. 2: I like ZA, and it didn't matter if i had it on or not before, so why now ?EDIT: Tried turning it off on several occasions. Didn't make any difference.3: It worked fine before i reinstalled windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Turning off ZA doesn't actually disable it. And it would matter because ZA is a piece of crap that functions poorly, just search the forum. Also, is that address according to your router? Getting it from a website doesn't count, though ZA seems the most likely candidate and you should uninstall it. If that doesn't work, once the problem is worked out you could put it back in, but it's still crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanquin Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Uninstalled ZA. No change. Still says the port isn't forwarded when I do that port checker, while I do have it opened in the virtual server.I have that part of the IP directly from my router. I don't use websites for that.Small change: Download speeds are about 5 to 10Kb/s higher now. So the firewall was a small part of the problem. I'm still not getting the 150+ download speeds i used to get though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 if your WAN IP address from the card is 192.168.x.x 10.x.x.x 172.16-172.31.x.x you cannot get an open port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanquin Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 *Sigh* Make your own effing threads for your problems, when they aren't the same as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Good point. Do the variable speeds still happen on the test torrents? First isolating piece by piece what's different may be the answer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 sanquin, try using the default gateway from your router to connect to the modem (under the Internet/WAN IPA), the modem might be a router and perhaps you can bypass/forward it. Example: http://192.168.1.1What make/model is the modem? Is it DSL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
