WolfMarauder Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hello. I have recently moved, and am using an entirely new internet configuration and ISP. Ever since it has been activated, uTorrent doesn't work.I am not a computer savvy person, and have no idea what's wrong. There appear to be several inconsistencies about the problems here. My setup uses no router, just a wireless modem, yet uTorrent tells me my ports aren't forwarded properly. I may be wrong, but don't modems not even use ports?Windows tells me I have a Norton firewall active, but I don't see how that's possible, as I don't have any Symantec/Norton software remaining on my computer, according to my program list. Plus, even if it were active, it never caused a problem on my old config. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, but don't modems not even use ports?Many modems can double as routers.Start - run - cmd /k ipconfigGet the x.x of the x.x.y.y IP address for your computer.

DreadWingKnight Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Then there is a router involved.Check the modem's model on portforward.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfMarauder Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I followed all of the steps, but once I got to the static IP step, I was unable to complete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 What problem were you having at that stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Explain why. Were you missing some necessary information? And a link to the guides you were trying to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfMarauder Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 One of the steps in the configuration procedure was to set up a static IP. The algorithm linked me here: http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm.I recorded the numbers correctly, but upon activating the static IP, the internet merely stopped working.UPDATE: Well, this is interesting. I changed the number of the port in uTorrent itself, and now the torrent is doing well, although uTorrent still says the port is not forwarded.

GTHK Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Win XP or Vista? What numbers did you use for setup? What numbers do you have in Start > Run > IPCONFIG /all and what numbers did you try? Try finding the modems DHCP range in the settings, and make sure you use an address outside of it.Link to the modem setup page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfMarauder Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 XP. Which numbers are you referring to? IP address was 192.168.0.12, changed it to .122 as directed in the instructions. Subnet Mask was 255.255.255.0. Gateway was 192.168.0.1. DNS were 66.75.100.63 and .64. Not sure what you mean about the DHCP thing, I didn't see anything about that in the instructions.

GTHK Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Do you use only one computer on it? If so you might get away with not using a static address (if the D-Link port forwards correctly). Go through the options on the modem till you see crap about a DHCP server, and the option to enter either a range, or a starting address plus number of clients.

WolfMarauder Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Like I said, I'm not computer savvy. I have no idea how to access a modem and go through its settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 You were following the directions you linked me right? Instead just look at other pages and find the one with options matching my description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
