hell.kelpie Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I've been a reasonably happy uT user for some time now, and I've recently lost connectability.My Belkin F1P1242EGau has the correct port number forwarded to the correct static IP for my NAS (worked fine for several months ... until two-three days ago).Norton Internet Security 2009 was also working well with uT - my NAS is marked "Fully Trusted" in Home Network, and my uT rule is at the top of the list of rules.When I lost connectability I Googled madly - added the Event4226 patch just in case, no help. Created additional TCP-UDP firewall rules - no luck.The only thing I can think of that might be causing this trouble is a bunch of Office updates. I upgraded to Office 07 a few days ago, that night it downloaded a bunch of updates, and I noticed the Unconnectable Red Spot of Doom some time the next day after those updates. Port Tester says my port is not open .. my router begs to differ.Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 correct port number forwarded to the correct static IP for my NASIs uTorrent running directly on the NAS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hell.kelpie Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 "Is uTorrent running directly on the NAS?"No, it's running on my desktop PC; uT files are stored (downs and ups) on the NAS.H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Then why did you port forward to the NAS and not to the machine running uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hell.kelpie Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Because I don't have enough storage - 120GB doesn't cut it, but the 2TB NAS is just right.As I mentioned, it's worked fine this way for months - lovely green dot of connectability until a couple of days ago. I could try forwarding to the PC's IP if you think that'll help, but it says the uT port is blocked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Nothing running on the NAS box knows what to do with the torrent traffic, so there's no point in forwarding to that.You MUST forward to the computer running uT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hell.kelpie Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks DWK ... *blush* ... I just tried it (sure it wouldn't work, mind you), and got an INSTANT Green Dot of Goodness.I cannot believe it was something so damn simple. Nor can I believe that it worked the other way around for so long and then just STOPPED.Thanks again, and thank goodness for the uT forum!H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Btw, you may want to unforward any open ports that were going from the internet through your router to your NAS...there may be security issues doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
