Sparx1337 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hey all, before I start on the main topic, I want to make sure all of you know I have done the following: - I've followed the Port Forwarding instructions for my Router (Dlink DIR-635) on Portforward.com - I have checked Windows Firewall that it is not blocking any connection for µTorrent.Also if there is a familiar thread to this subject, my highest apologies but I'm really too busy to look around at the moment.That is what I have done, now on to the subject.I've gotten rid of the slow browsing problem thanks to doogal and his "Slow browsing + NOD 32" thread, but my problem is the red little icon on the very bottom of the client telling me it has limited or no connection because of ports not being opened or firewalls blocking me. On the firewall side, I don't understand what the problem could be. I have made an exception for Windows Firewall so that can not be the problem. I have also opened the required port for µTorrent to run properly, but no it doesn't somehow, and I don't understand why. Does this issue sound familiar to any of you? What could the problem be? I'm using Windows XP Home Edition SP3 if that can help you.And I didn't have this issue before I updated to 1.8.1, I'm sure. Then I didn't even have to open the ports to make it run properly.So does anyone have something to provide?Thank you in advance,Sparx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 What static IP did you define on your computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparx1337 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I chose 192.168.0.154 which is reserved for my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 And what range of addresses does your router give out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparx1337 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I'm not really sure. Routers isn't one of my specialities really. Do you have any idea how, or where I can find this? If it's in the user manual I have no idea where it is as only my father knows where that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Advanced LAN settings most likely. It's safe to browse around the router settings as long as you don't change any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparx1337 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Ah I found it.The range is from 192.168.0.100 <---> 192.168.0.199, and my IP Adress is in between those two ip adresses (192.168.0.154). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Then that's a potential problem. Many routers will refuse to forward to IP addresses within their DHCP range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
