Claw_gr Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 maybe you should read the sticky before posting?http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=3456If you dont open ports you automatically block some connections, so you wont get the best speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastzx4 Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 "Special note for users with Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS routers, there are severe problems with them when running any P2P app (read for fix)The following note does NOT apply to WRT54G/GS v5 and up! Use the latest official firmware (1.00.9+) with those, they do not suffer from this specific problem (though they do suffer from different problems)."thank you but i have !read! over the guide in the faq and portforwarding.com my router is version 5 so that specific problem doesn't apply to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Is your computer's static LAN ip outside your router's DHCP range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Is your modem acting as a router or firewall as well?...Because it sounds like you've set your router up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastzx4 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 my modem is set to router i also created a rule to allow utorrent to forward the ports, should i forward the port from my modem to the router or my pc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 The modem has to be forwarded to the router.Better/easier to make this all work if you put the modem in bridge mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
