kingaaa Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I've been using Utorrent for a while now and its running great,no port or speed issues.Now I also want to use it on my laptop,do I have to go through the whole process of port-forwarding and open up a different port for the laptop, or can I just use the port already assigned to Utorrent on my router?

DreadWingKnight Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 You need to go through the whole process and use a different port. It's not possible to forward the same port to 2 different machines at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingaaa Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks for that - would it make a difference that one machine is xp and the other is vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Not really, no. just don't run both at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingaaa Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Running utorent on both computers at the same time is a no-no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 They'll trip over each other and kill your connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingaaa Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I went through the port-forward process and opened up port 6113 (the pc is port 6112). instead of calling it utor1 I called it utor2 in the router settings. I just tried the port tester on utorrent and its saying the port is still closed.Now utorrent is running on the pc upstairs, would that have made a difference?

moogly Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yeah I have the same problem, thx for this post.I would like to configure in the same way: my laptop is connected in Wifi and sometimes in ethernet (cable between the computer & the router) but my local IP changes: http://192.168.1.10/ (Wifi connection) http://192.168.1.12 (ethernet connection).Do you know if I can forward TWO PORTS on the SAME MACHINE ?with 2 rules in router:*rule 1: utor1 / 192.168.1.10 / TCP&UDP / #50001 (port)*rule 2: utor2 / 192.168.1.12 / TCP&UDP / #50002 (port)Anyway it will be the same machine (IP depending on connection type).

PerArne Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Should not be a problem to forward 2 ports on the same time.You will however have to edit uTorrent options each time you change the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Thx for replying, I was not sure about this response but I thought the same thing like you. Finally I should need to edit uT OR my router options each time I switch the connection :/1/ Fixed port number in uT & in router -> editing local IP in one router rule (TCP/UDP)2/ 2 forwarded ports in router with 2 local IP -> editing port number in uT.
