binksy Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 hey,ive just transfered to sky broadband (max package), anyways since the transfer i cannot open ports on utorrent (allthough sometimes i have been able).I've tried setting up new rules on my sagem 2504 f@st router for ports 6881 - 6889 so they can be accessed, however when this service is in place, there is no difference.I've no firewall on atm, it still doesn't work.Last night, when it worked, i was hooked up to port 22923 which was working perfectly (until earlier on when i had to turn my pc off) now it doesn't work along with the usual other ports.I've switched adapters for my router originally on a crappy wg111t netgear adapter (but overheated and caused pc to crash) had the same problem downloading toowent to some other one bluenxt bn-wd54g doesnt crsah the pc but i still cant download...Its annoying as my nana just got with skybroadband and it works fine...althuogh shes on mid package...but this shouldn't be happening.Also, on the utorrents port checker, it comes up with the wrong ip address for some reason 207.71 something.Binksy(if anyone can help via msn, that is even betteR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Did any hardware change?Why are you trying to use 6881-6999 and not the port set in your uTorrent preferences?Do you have proxies enabled anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 other than the modem i useIs said new modem on the portforward.com router list?6881 - 6889 are default ports used in utorrentWrong. The default port for uTorrent is to select one randomly. Check the preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 With it being there, you likely have to portforward on it as well as any router you have. If you can turn one or the other into bridge mode, that would simplify matters greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binksy Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Can you explain that a bit more?or if oyu have msn tell me there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Bridge mode is where the specific device has its NAT system disabled and just blindly forwards traffic along as if the device were a simple switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binksy Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 How do i put it into bridge mode?btw im running xp pro sp2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 That would be handled in the configuration of the router, not on your computer. I don't know exactly how, and you may need to stumble through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
