Port forwarding issue

[icsterm]

The problem is i can't get to forward my utorrent port properly.

My lan router opens a forwaded port different from my utorrent settings.

Example:

Router listens on wan_ip:5500 redirected to private_ip:5501

Utorrent listens on private_ip:5501 , but can't get incoming connections because it reports 5501 that is only localy open.

So i need a way to listen on local 5501 and report port 5500 to tracker.

Any help please?

I don't have any access to the LAN router, any settings under utorrent that can bind 2 ports or change incoming port that is reported to tracker?

Or any software that can open a copy of a localhost port?

For example if i listen on 5501, it will open 5500 and redirect to 5501, in this way i can get incoming connections.

Have you tried to use another port altogether?

A suggestion try a port that is bigger than 5500 add another zero on top of that see if you get the problem as many ports default to a particular service on a router, hence the change in forwarding the port from 5500 to 5501.

Also see if you are behind a transparent proxy. Give google a go with the search term "find if you are behind a transparent proxy" the second one down should tell you.

If you are that will be mucking it up as well.

Hope this helps.

The port combination is the only one available.

No, i'm behind NAT only, no proxies.

Why does your router do that? And no, there is actually no function in utorrent to change what port is reported.

[icsterm]

The port is forwaded for a VNC connection(i want to upload torrents at work).

So i can't change the port combination.

You can't forward more than one port?

[icsterm]

The wan port is different off the local port. Can't change it.

I don't have access to router settings.

Well, regardless, you can't do anything about this in utorrent. Unfortunately, you'd have to go to Azureus to get that feature.

It's a good feature to implement and we probably will, but in the meantime, there's nothing you can do.

Found solution - a small port redirect(map) application.

Works like a charm!

Thanks for helping.

I've put this feature (reporting different port to tracker) on the todo, but I can't tell you whether it'll come in 1.8.2 or 1.9. Be on the lookout for it, though.

I would love this feature to.

In my situation I will be the most elegant way to setup the port forwarding for all the people I live with without using UPnP which I don't thrust inside our network..

Can't find this feature in Azureus either by the way.

Byebye,
