stormrider76 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Greetings all:Apologiesfor the rookie nature of this question. I'm more than ready for any rotten fruit or sharp objects you may care to throw at me...I'm running utorrent 0.9.1 on an intel Mac with OS-X 10.5.4. I have set up a static IP after following the guide at www.portforward.com and forwarded my incoming TCP port, but the port checker still says it does not appear to be open and that utorrent is still running via my external IP. Do I need to change the settings so it runs on my new static IP and how do I do that? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOneButMe Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 still need to forward your ports, http://portforward.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider76 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Sorted, thank you! Even though my external IP keeps changing, utorrent is now on the static one and I get a green signal every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tervalinian Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 yeah no i do the same thing but it never works...no matter how many times i forward my ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOneButMe Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 firewall? bad isp? being vague is unhelpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w00tageman Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I thought that this was a known problem in utorrent .9.1 release. There is a separate thread on how people cannot get good connections in utorrent even though they had their ports forwarded correctly and the web test confirmed it.

NoOneButMe Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 It doesn't affect everyone (For example, I use 0.9.1 and can still make connections fine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
