Tell us what your changed settings are. I have followed all of the instructions posted by Ultima as per http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992#p214965# The state/value of all of the options you were recommended to change up above. I honestly do not remember everything I have changed but I have pretty much followed the link given above to the letter.# Color of the network status light in µTorrent's status bar (at the bottom of the µTorrent main window) Currently, I have the red circle with ! # What the port checker from the Speed Guide writes Error!

lysistrata7 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I have changed to your suggested settings but I still have my red circle. I am unable to achieve a download speed over 45 kB/s whereas I was able to get over 100 kB/s in the not so distant past without the red circle or yellow triangle.

Switeck Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Did you also port-forward/disable firewall on your modem?Seems to me if you get over 20 KB/sec download speed you are getting FAR more than you're giving. BitTorrent swarms cannot be sustained that way...others must be getting far less than they are giving as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysistrata7 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I am not sure how to port-forward/disable firewall on my modem. Can you help me do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 If it's needed, it's probably listed on www.portforward.com ROUTERS section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysistrata7 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Its not listed so I guess thats not it. I have a new symptom. My connection icon keeps going from the "red circle !" to the "yellow triangle !" for some unknown reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 # Exact router model(s), and exact modem modelLinksys WRT56G connected to a Terayon TJ716XSo you're actually double-firewalled by 2 routers between your computer and your modem?That's usually a royal mess...best to either put the "inner" router (farthest form the modem) in bridge modeOR remove 1 routerOR connect your computer to the router that's directly connected to the modem.

lysistrata7 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 No, the Terayon is my modem it is not another router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Go to the Linsys' Status page, what are the first two octets (Ex. 208.67.x.x) of the routers IP address in the "Internet" section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTHK Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 What does the red circle say when you put your mouse over it? Are you using a static IP address (and outside the routers DHCP range)? Did you port forward to said address?http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysistrata7 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Yes, I did the portforwarding according to the portforward.com. I currently have the yellow triangle which states "No incoming connections." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beeng Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hi, I had the same problem (updated to SP3, firewall disabled, router DMZed) and this solution fixed it:http://windowsxp.mvps.org/sharedaccess.htm"rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection Ndi-Steelhead 132 %windir%\inf\netrass.inf"Apparently SP3 screws around with the windows firewall settings and somehow enables it (despite it being disabled).Anyhoo, hopefully this will help, it did for me.

Switeck Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Yes the DHCP is set at 209.xxx.xxx.x while my static ip is 192...Perhaps you're confusing DNS server ip with DHCP range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysistrata7 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Switeck:When I do an ipconfig/all, I get two DNS server addresses both beginning with 209. My DHCP is not enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
