Won't connect to local peer?

[panqueques]

I added another computer on my LAN to the peer list (its on a separate internet connection downloading the same torrent, but it is on the same LAN) and µTorrent doesn't seem to connect to it. I entered the correct local IP and port (in this case 192.168.1.100:32985). Why does µT connect?

Adding a peer in peer list is not automatic and not 100% successful.

If it's a public tracker, active LPD in your both uT clients. And verify your router supports UDP multicast.

I already had "Local Peer Discovery" enabled.

How can I figure out if my router supports UDP multicast? I have a Netgear WGU624.

You could use wireshark to see if you're receiving any multicasted UDP packets

edit: of course you should make sure that the other computer is sending some..

Or read the tutorial of your router, surely available online. Check the boards of Netgear.

Netgears material suggests support.

Both computers are on that router (connected to Cable), but also one computer is on DSL (has 2 connections). The computer with both connections has the DSL as its primary connection. Perhaps µTorrent has a problem with that and isn't checking the second (LAN) connection?

Is it a torrent on private tracker (with DHT enabled) ?

[panqueques]

I was using The Pirate Bay at the time I tried to do this.

Does LPD/DHT/PEX come up as not allowed? Maybe you should try disconnecting the PC from the DSL connection and then restarting both µTorrents, I suppose it's possible Windows was sending the join message for LPD the wrong way. Does entering an address manually work? You could use Wireshark to check what's going on.

Can you try this tip:

In your both uT clients, enable DHT/PEX/LPD, then double-clik on the torrent job and add this announce http://open.tracker.thepiratebay.org:80/announce

Maybe that will connect your clients between together.
