GD_515 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Ok I have DSL 2wire 1701HG modem and i done the port forwarding like i should and the little circle turned green and everything seems to work and my download speeds was incredible. Then later on and error showed up with my modem saying i was running a router on a router and i selected resolve my problem and when i done that it changed it over to DMZ plus and made my modem public and i dont want that ... What could i be doing wrong ???? I did everything exactly the way the port forward page explained it . - My download speed right now is 11.8 kb/s with 3 (11094) seeds and 7 (24409) peers selected ... sometimes it climbs to 140kb/s but it wont stay but for a little bit.- in preferences all i have checked is enable NAT- PMP port mapping ... my port is 42880.-oh i have windows vista 32bit home premium SP1 with PC tools Firewall Plus and AVG virus protector.

GTHK Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Where, did this modem error come from? Did you install some crap software that came with it? If you look though the modems settings you should be able to disable DMZ+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 You should keep the DMZ+ on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD_515 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 If i keep the DMZ+ on wouldnt that make my computer public and leave all my ports open ??? ... If thats the case whats the since of having that firewall ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Honestly, if you keep up with Windows updates, it's not really necessary. Plus, the Windows firewall works well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD_515 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I went ahead and allowed utorrent with my firewall again and i did the same thing i did the first time, but this time its not giving me that error no more and im not in DMZ+ either so im not sure what was going on but im getting great speeds now...
