marinmm Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hi,I have a gateway at home after which I put a wireless router few days ago. I have two notebooks, both connected with wireless via the router, both Vista SP1. Port forwarding (uTorrent) on one is working, and on other isn't.I tried various things, everything that came to my mind. Configuration right now is router in access point, firewall disabled, VMM disabled, UPnP enabled (at router and both laptops), addresses setted manually, reserved by the router.Only obvious problem is that router doesn't show that ports are forwarded and tends to "forget" it. Alas, on one computer it says ports are opened and DHT status in uTorr is ok, on the other only upload speed is ok, but it's not connectable and ports stay forwarded only few seconds after I change it at the router (I see it because that's the time green dot remains in uTorrent, after it it switches to yellow triangle, then red dot later afterwards).Upload speed on the computer that won't open ports is ok (can get to the maximum, but not as fast as with the computer that is connectable all the time).Please help with this one, I've spent days to solve this and it's same, whatever I do, one computer works ok, the other isn't connectable but merely a few seconds, until I try to check weather port is forwarded.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Did you use static IP addresses outside your routers DHCP range? You can find that in your router. Are you using different ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinmm Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Yp, I did (lowered the range in the router). I also tried with IPs in the range.Yp, uTorrents on both computers are using different ports (one is 50xyz, another is 52xyz).There is also another interesting thing: it says "DHCP enabled... No", even on the computer where everything works as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim6630 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 iam not that good in these things but i have a simple question which you may didnt notice, did you set the same port number on the router to forward to both notebooks? if both are forwarded to the same port so it will never work (one should work and the other is never),so all what you need is to change the port number on the notebook which is not forwarded and add another port for Utorrent on the router so both can be port forwarded at the same time.....and yes sometimes it says port forwarded untill you check it then the red icon appear.hope this help you.....
