Jayto2k Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hmmm, I connected the port with D-link, but still the light appears yellow.After a while of p2p(with many peers/seeds), the light turns red.What should I do?The strangest is the torrent test(the torrents used to test torrent clients) runs have high speed, but the light is yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayto2k Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Tried that, but the situation hasn't changed. Despite of that, the speeds have changed a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 What model d-link router is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Was your modem ALSO on the list and need to be configured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayto2k Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 The modem is d-link 604 but I'm not sure if it's on the "needs to be configured" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daigelmir Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I have the same problem with my Linksis WAG200. It shows the yellow sign then the red circle afterward. I didn't change any of my settings (utorrent, router), and I have just encountered this problem recently.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Jayto2k,Maybe one of these?:http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-604/DI-604index.htmhttp://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DSL-604+/Utorrent.htmDaigelmir,You probably need this one:http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WAG200G/Utorrent.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayto2k Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I tried those already(fwarded the port many times and clicked enable, yet the light is yellow, then red after a long time of downloading/seeding.Usually I can only connect to 4/12 peers(the most is 6/12), and I am currently using a dynamic ip address. Maybe this is related to the forwarding problem: Sometimes the bandwidth is high as 89.0kb/s, but after a few minutes the bandwidth drops to 3kb/s. Is this normal? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Sounds like a "adaptive" software firewall...possibly in your antivirus/antispyware software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayto2k Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 adaptive? :/ O and also, when I boot in safe mode, utorrent 1.8's light appears GREEN for a short time then it turns yellow but never red(well not that I've seen) .

Switeck Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Definitely a firewall then...Windows firewall maybe?And do look in your antivirus/antispyware for firewall settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayto2k Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Thanks for your suggestion, but I checked windows firefox-it's disabled, and other firewall allows utorrent connection. Other than firewalls, I also checked the router's virtual server, and it states,"enable, active".The status bar in utorrent rarely have DHT logged in. If it does, there are 0 nodes. hmmm. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Maybe someone else can help...Because it really sounds like a hidden software firewall (viruses/trojans/keyloggers can act like firewalls too) is blocking uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayto2k Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I recently scanned my pc with Panda scan / Norton/ antivir Classic and they all found none. The speed test showed that the port is not open( the port test in utorrent). But, I've done everything I know, what should I do now? Thanks for trying Do I have to set the ip into static ip address? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayto2k Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Does d-link need to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Not a clue, but it's not a bad idea to pick one outside the routers DHCP range (found in the settings somewhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayto2k Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 O well, i guess I need to use another client But none of them are better than utorrent except the speed. Thanks for all(as in everyone) your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 A different client isn't going to help. Your router is misconfigured. The DI-604 is a router and will block all ports by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-604/Utorrent.htmDid you actually follow this guide?More than likely, you need to setup a static IP for your machine and make sure it's not inside the router's DHCP range for the forwarding to work properly.

Jayto2k Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 "make sure it's not inside the router's DHCP range" what does that mean?How do you guys get here so quickly? I tried it, then clicked utorrent's port clicker, but it's not opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
