Not Connectable in spite of trying many things

[kahoona]

I have the dreaded red !. The port test says not connectible. I have set tie Motorola DSL Modem to not bridged. I have changed my IP to static using the port foreword instructions. Then I used the Port forward software to forward the port for utorrent. I made sure that Comodo does not block it. Also I turned it off. When these things were done I did notice a lot more activity and connections but no successful incoming connections. I have learned a lot these past few days ;-). Port forward has issued a case # but so far has not replied to my inquiry. I am being driven slowly mad (though it is a short drive even at slow speeds!) What can I try next? I need the router for the laptop WI FI. Is there another way to connect the router as a secondary device with the modem straight to the PC?

Edited after thinking about it. Do not know it it is connectible without the router.

Hi, Your Problem is thazt you have the Dreaded 2 Router Syndrome?? You will have to either Bridge the Modem or turn your 2nd Router into a Switch/Hub/WAP following this Guide:

Ahah! so my Motorola Modem is also a router ans this is screwing things up. Thanks. I followed the directions at the link (and also had to change to obtain DNS server automatically.) My Comodo firewall is off for now but I still am not connectible. Do I need to forward the port again and will PortForward program forward it through the first router now? I am learning but still uncertain about this. I appreciate the help so far.

Though the Port foreward software does not list the Motorola as a known model the manual instructions do. I was about to do that when I saw that I need to go to a static IP and I just changed that. Should I do that?
