tallb0y Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hey Guys,I've gone through Swick and Firon's troubleshooting guides over and over optimized my preferences to your specifications yet I've hit a weird issue.At home I'm running a LinksysWRT54G with DD-WRT firmware. I have a static DHCP IP address set up for the laptop only. Green icon and up and down speeds are well below the threshold of my max speed. After a few minutes all my internet based programs accessing the router are toast EXCEPT uTorrent. uTorrent chugs along great but anything on the network trying to access any other port is dead. Wifi phone - dead. Game consoles - no dice. Other laptops trying to access mail/web browsers - no go.So on a hunch I brought my torrenting laptop to the office. No optimized router settings. Red icon. I can surf fine and I have good U/D speed. Doesn't seem to affect any other devices on the network either.I haven't tried to check to see if my ISP is throttling but I'm open to any suggestions.. Changing the forwarded port maybe? Let me know what you guys think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 You might need to disable DHT and keep the connections low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallb0y Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I have them at 150 global right now. DHT is off. The only difference I'm thinking is the router. Should I (Can I?) set the connections level on the router side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Is yours one of the WRT54Gs that was originally VxWorks based? If it's not, switch to Tomato, it's a lot better. And uh, you might need to adjust the tcp/udp timeouts in the router config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 By "low" connections, we mean like 50 or less. Also, you may need to reduce half open connection limit in uTorrent as low as 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Nah, 150 is fine for that router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallb0y Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Had DHT enabled - nerfed that and I'm good to go. The icon is cycling from Yellow to Green but the port checker is coming back OK!Thanks guys!BTW I'm at 150 total cnxns with 8 half opens and running the latest version of uTorrent, NOD32 3.0.621.0, and Windows Vista SP1 fully updated just in case people are having similar problems.

Firon Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Oh, make sure you exclude utorrent from NOD32's web browser list (in the HTTP settings). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
