tomasgi Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm getting a yellow and then red sign at the bottom of Utorrent that tells me that my port is not forwarded correctly. I clicked on the check port and read/followed all the instructions that www.portforward.com gave me for my router. And After I created my static ISP and retest the port it still tells me that my port does not appear to be open. Which I believe is affecting my speeds(very slow).

GTHK Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 On the Linksys go to the status page, list the first half of your routers IP address in the "Internet" section (Ex. 192.168.x.x). What anti-virus/firewall/Internet-Security programs are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomasgi Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'm running AVG, Windows firewall. I made an exception on both programs for Utorrent. The first half of my routers IP is 192.168. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 The modem or whatever connected to your Linksys is also a router (assuming you did check it as I specified ). Find out the exact make and model and look it up on portforward.com. If you have trouble, post the exact make and model of the modem-router, any pf instructions found, and in the Linksys status page the Linksys' gateway address.When you set up the pf in the modem, use the Linksys address if it has you go by address, otherwise it probably has you go by device. Same port numbers as µT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomasgi Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hey GTHK I don't know/can't find the type of router that is hooked up to my Linksys. I use Keyon for my internet provider and the actual Ethernet cable that comes from the antenna goes into a converter that gives power to the antenna and then to my router. I don't mean to be ignorant but this is the first time I tried to forward a port. I read the bridge mode guide and tried to change the connection from automatic DHCP to the PPPoE but when I do my internet stops working (I turned off the power and then back on after I lost the connection).

GTHK Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 The guide is my signature Are you using a sat connection or something? Those usually can't be forwarded Try going to Start > Run > Type CMD /k ipconfig /all then find your connection and get the gateway address, use it like this format http://gatewaynumbershere. Ex. http://192.168.1.1If you get a router page, you may be able to forward (unless you get the Linksys one, in which case, bypass the Linksys), otherwise you'll need to talk to your ISP about either port forwarding or a public address if you want to be incoming connectible.

tomasgi Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 My internet is wireless broadband. I have a receiver that picks up a signal from one of many antennas in my town (much like a cellphone tower) which gets me to their server in another city. When I type my gateway in the address bar it takes me to the Linksys. The Linksys router I have changed to what portforward said to change it and that didn't work. By bypassing the router do you mean not using it. If that's the case my gateway changes and when I type that address it takes me to a site called Canopy: Motorola Wireless Broadband Platform. It shows me my Ip address and my Home address...... FREAKY:l . The problem with this is that I can't log in to my platform because I don't have a password. What Password do they want?... The administrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 You can't port forward on such a connection. They put you behind a LAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomasgi Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 So I can't even if I get a hold of the company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Doubtful. If they can do something, it'll most likely cost you money. A public IP address will let your router receive incoming connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
