akumaran Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hello,I recently upgraded the router to Dlink DIR 655. Since then i am having problems with port forwarding. I followed all the steps as listed in portforward.com and it is still showing that yellow triangle with ! symbol.Any suggestions on how to make it green. In my previous router it worked very easily and i was able to do port forwarding but not in this new router. Please help.ThanksAykay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 What does the port tester say? It's in the µT speed guide. Also, did you set a static IP address up? And forward using that address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akumaran Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Yes i tested it using the port tester in uTorrent and it gave meChecking port 5055 on 71.251.130.196...Error! Port 5055 does not appear to be open.So i followed the steps given in www.portforward.com and that didnt resolve it either. i have a static ip and it was working before with my previous router and this started happening only when i changed my router.ThanksAykay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Have you made any other changes to your computer or network (including the installation of software)? Also, can you take a screen shot of the D-Link forwarding settings alongside an ipconfig readout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTHK Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Does connecting directly work? If it does, try setting a static IPA and forwarding to that: http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akumaran Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 IT's FIXED!!!!Thanks GTHK.. for pointing me to the right place. Actually my DSL modem has a built in router and for some reason that was blocking the port. The moment i cleared that piece.. it worked like a charm!!!!THANKS ONCE AGAIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 That's what I forgot to ask about, you posting two days later I forgot what I wanted to ask next :/Anyway, your welcome. You might want to read my guide in my signature regarding bridge mode, this way you only have one functioning router instead of two. It's not necessary, but if your D-Link can't take high speed transfers very well it will come in handy. Try testing with open office torrents to make sure it's alright: http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
