Harry*PARTY*Field Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I have recently downloaded uTorrent. I used it once successfully, but have had problems ever since...I continuously gget the error: port not openI have tried both random ports and my own to no avail...I then accessed the "port forward" link under the error message above.I have a D'link ADSL router and avast anti virusI followed the prompts indicated on the post forward site for my router and all was sweet until it came to the part where it stated that you click on "user" and it should say AZUREUS to which you click add then apply then thats it.. so i got right to he end...I was doing all this as i was instructed that making a static connection would solve my problemI have also attempted to alter my anitvirus settings to no availsorry for being so specific but im getting frustratedcheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 OK, so you went through http://utorrent.com/setup_guide.php and then the http://portforward.com instructions for your model?You setup a static IP on your computer correct? What is your IP address @ start->run->cmd /k ipconfigHave you made sure THAT IP is outside the DHCP range on the router? Most go to 150, so choose an IP between 200 and 250.Which AV do you have? Is it a security "suite" including software firewall or other security center software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry*PARTY*Field Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 im fairly sure i set up the static IP correct as i followed everything correctly...10.1.1.2 is the IP addressit says that DHCP is not enabled in the ipconfig part...the antivirus is avast. it is antispyware and antivirusi should also state that my d'link router is dsl 504T (im not sure V.1 or 2) but i tried all 4 on the portforward site and the one that seemed to be the best was the last dsl 504t in order on the page..

Firon Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Even if you set a static IP, it has to be an IP outside of the DHCP range configured in your router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishalling Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 i am also having port issues with my downloaded version of utorrent.
