coltaz Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 although i followed portforward.com's instructions ( created static ip address, changed router NAT settings) and i have allocated the port in my firewall i still have a yellow triangle and average speeds of 10 Kb/s download.i have read all the forum guides, i've checked the speed and set it. i have tried enabling and disabling DHT. UPnP mapping is disabled. i have tried switching off the firewall, and even uninstalling it, but to no effect. portforward still says the port is not forwarded.my router - Huawei smartax MT882 v2Isp- TalkTalk ( carphone warehouse)Firewall - Bullguard v8.5 ( windows defender is off)i know my isp isn't the best, this might account for the lousy speeds but what about the port not forwarding?should i try another port?any help would be hugely appreciated!thankyou for your kind consideration.

highlander888 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 It sounds like you still haven't configured the port forwarding right on your router if the uT port forwarding test returns an error. Concentrate on that. Don't worry about the other settings until you get the port forwarding to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltaz Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 thanks for the reply. i have followed the instructions on portforwards site for my router to the letter - i have input my new static ip address and my chosen port in the NAT redirect screen, then save & rebooted, but still no joy. has anyone else had this problem?

coltaz Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 thanks for the advice. i have used those settings you suggested to disguise uTorrent from my isp but the speeds are the same and the port is still not forwarded. i guess the only solution is to leave talktalk and get a new isp. problem is they cost a lot less than their rivals. you get what you pay for i suppose.

Switeck Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Do some research on the broadband ISPs in your area. It would suck to change ISPs to one equally bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
