dpk100 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hello,I keep getting the message about port not being forwarded, the yellow icon. My computer's configuration is:OS : Vista UltimateFirewall: Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) 2009Router: DI - 524I tried these methods to resolve the issue but they did not work:1. Un-installed the KIS.2. Opened the port in my router after following the instructions from http://www.portforward.com.3. Tried uninstalling and installing the latest uTorrent client.Can you suggest me any more trobleshooting ideas to get the uTorrent to work?Thanks in advance.Here are the screen shots: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Does the networking device your router connects to need to be configured as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpk100 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have verizon FIOS. I directly get a CAT 5 cable from outside and plug-it into the router. I used to have Vista Home Premium before and uTorrent was working without any issues. It's only after I upgraded to Vista Ultimate, I started getting the port-forward issue.

Majiko Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm getting exactly the same message from the uTorrent port checker. I've also followed the instructions on www.portforward.com. Interestingly, when I initially set up my static IP address, my download speeds rocketed up to 150-200 kbps. I should have left it at that. I then followed their instructions to open the relevant port on my D Link rouer and I was back down to 10-30 kpps. Either way, at no point has uTorrent recognised that a port on my router is open.I've also opened the relevant port in Vista Firewall, to no avail, and also played around with the router firewall settings.

Switeck Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Find out if you're getting only a LAN ip address to your computer or router on the WAN side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpk100 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Can you please tell me how I can determine this? I tried to google but was not able to find an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Isn't there an info page in your router's setup that tells what IT sees as its connected WAN ip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 That picture seems to show the WAN side of your router sees an internet ip instead of a LAN ip....Which is good, because it means your modem probably doesn't have a mini-router and/or firewall. (...or at least has those features disabled.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
band27 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm having the same identical problem.....and this is causing a speed limit (avg. 30kb/s) vs (450kb/s). I've tried everything with no avail. Went through the www.portforward.com guide and nothing. Could it be uTorrent ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm having the same identical problemSo you have the exact same model of D-Link router?Running Vista Ultimate?With software firewall Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) 2009?Otherwise, how is your problem "identical"?Does your router show its WAN-side ip as a proper internet ip?...If no to any of these questions, you really should start your own message thread and LIST your problems and equipment!
