ChrisEffinSmith Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I have a WRT54G V8 with firmware 8.00.5. uTorrent v1.8. I can't get port forwarding to work for the life of me. I've tried the port forwarding, port triggering, upnp on, upnp off, windows firewall on with exceptions, off, etc... Same deal with azereus. Followed all the tricks and guides I could find online. I'm convinced that port forwarding just plain doesn't work with this model. If someone has the same model and a working setup, can you please give me ALL your pertinent settings?

DreadWingKnight Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 What static IP address did you set on your computer Chris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisEffinSmith Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 No DSL (satellite ISP). Static IP of 192.168.1.102 (removed from the DHCP pool). I've even gone as far as turning off windows firewall and setting the router for DMZ. Still refuses to acknowledge an open port. I'm pretty well fed up with this router (linksys really appears to have gone downhill in recent years). Is there a recommended router for use with BT? Thanks again.

GTHK Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Your using satellite? You probably can't port forward because of your ISP then If you want to be sure, post the first two parts of your Linksys IP address, as listed in Status, the section that says Internet. I haven't heard of anyone NOT being screwed over by satellite though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisEffinSmith Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I apologize, I mis-spoke before. It's Bell WiMAX. The person whom I'm setting this up for just referred to it as satellite because it uses a dish. It does however provide them with a dynamic IP (though I can't fathom that being the problem). I did run a web-based "torrent friendly isp" checker and the connection passed. This is maddening to say the least. I'm going to try and connect directly to the incoming line (bypassing the router altogether). If it passes that test, I'm going with a different router.

The_Nephilim Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Well usually these Wireless Services are behind a NAT/DAT. You will Probally not be able to setup Port Forwarding. I would contact your ISP and ask How do you Connect to utorrent or if you dont wanna mention utorrent tell them you can NOT connect or Host any games and how can you connect??
