Monkeyman Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Help guys! I've tried everything but I can not just seem to open a port for uTorrent to receive maximum connectivity! I've tried everything! I've opened ports on both my firewall, Comodo Firewall Pro, Windows Firewall and my Belkin router (Wireless G Plus MIMO F5D9230-4 v5000) I have also tried disabling my avast! anti-virus sheilds. I do use PeerGuardian2 and tried disabling it, but even then, it still does not open! I have even tried disabling everything at once! I set up a static IP address and configured uTorrent's connection and port options appropriately. There has to be something I'm doing wrong! If you have you need any more information about any hardware or software, then you can just post here. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Try connecting your computer directly to the modem. Furthermore, recheck your settings for Comodo. There's a guide to setting it up poperly for utorrent here. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=292343#p292343 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeyman Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 It did'nt really help. I have a Motorola SurfBoard Modem, Model SB5101 that is connected to a VOIP modem that I need for a phone, subsequently, they are both hooked to the router. I think I heard stuff about the SurfBoard interfering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Correct, SurfBoard modems are known to block ports. There isn't any way around it either, as it's an automatic/ISP-controlled "feature." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeyman Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 So as long as I use the SurfBoard, I can't open a port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Potentially not. It may work sometimes, but other times, not. See this post for an explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeyman Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 okay, my WAN IP is 192.168.99.196, is that the problem? The SurfBoard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 192.168.*.* is a RFC1918 restricted range, so yes, the SurfBoard is blocking the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeyman Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 So I can't change the settings? Is there anyway I can unblock them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 No way that I know of, other than to get a new, non-SurfBoard cable modem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vu3voc Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I had the same situation an hour back,nothing helped remove the yellow triangle for the incoming connection.Port Forward, Firewall etc et nothing helped.On a trial and Error basis ,I open my network connections and opened the properties tab of of my Wi fi adapter and disabled the AGN Filter Interface.Finally.....I got a green Icon on utorrent 1.8, number of peers had increased and downloading speed has improved.

Monkeyman Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Sorry, but I really have no idea what your talking about Please explain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Neither do I, as it's irrelevant to the problem at hand -- SurfBoards can't be manually configured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeyman Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 What I'm noticing is different stages. Sometimes when i am running uTorrent, the light is yellow, that's what happens most of the time. Then, the light will turn red, it will stay there for a little while, then the light will turn green for like, 5 minutes, the speeds will increase a bit, but upon running a port check, it still turns up closed. Then the light will go back to yellow, speeds drop and the cycle will continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Are you overloading your connection?What speed is it and what settings are you using in uTorrent as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G)?...and what half open rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeyman Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 My setting for speed is xx/96 I do not know what you mean by half open rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 uTorrent's advanced settings, net.max_halfopen...normally set to 8, but if you have connection trouble setting it to 1-4 usually helps.Try the reduced max connection settings for 96 kilobits/second in the 2nd link in my signature.Disable Resolve IPs and DHT as well, to rule out UDP traffic-related problems.

niksha Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have tried the above and still same thing.One minute it is yellow then red then green.The ownloads and ploads are going at a goiod speed but its the yellow,red and green that is puzzling cuz once you see it , you think it should be going faster in down and uploading.

Switeck Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 niksha, you have a bursty connection with ComCast. Set the speeds too high and it WILL be firewalled part of the time due to overloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
