Matt7 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hey, No green tick for me since ive got a new router and provider, ive got that dam error pic It told me my port wasnt open, so i then checked the guide on Port Forwarding for my router, came accross "Static IP" i dont have this.I dont know alot about this kinda stuff, and id liek to keep my connection as it is, because my last router gave me alot of troubles, xbox NAT wouldnt OPEN, slow speeds, laptop getting disconected alot ect, but now all of this is fine except uTorrent.I've read that you can open a port using a normal IP, but i will have to change it everytime in my routers settings, so i followed the guide for the first part but replaced where Static was soppose to be with 192.168.1.1 also tryied .1.2 and also the IP its testing on the page to see if my Port is open but nothing >_< i dont mind changing it everytime i turn my comp on I Have a Huaweu EchoLife HG520b Router, this is the page ive got:So ive tried, 192.168.1.1 / 192.168.1.1 / The IP it shows when testing if Port is open.So is it possible to Open this port without using a Static IP? thanks to anyone that helps, if you need any other info il post it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 192.168.1.1 is almost certainly your router's LAN ip address...you need to forward FROM the router to your computer's LAN ip address...which is probably more like 192.168.1.101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt7 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Thanks, i tried that IP and still got the same dl and error.But just before i done this for about 1 minute i was getting 770kb/s only last a about 10 seconds though... but still a triangle there. this happens a fe times, although usually itll go to max 20kb/s, my average is 11.1kb/sNow and then i get the green tick but the speed doesnt increase, seems lke its random :SIs there a way to find my computers IP?

moogly Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yes. Connection in Windows menu, then display the status of your local connection then details.Or run cmd and type ipconfig /all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 That's your gateway but not your local IPv4. ipconfig should display your local IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 It's ok, I post for you. Did you try to change your static local IP? Are you in range of IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt7 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I did try to setup the Static IP, but i failed.i done a backup of my router before i did any of this, should i restore it and do the ipconfig /all again?"Are you in range of IP" Sorry but i dont know what that means.

Switeck Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 If your router's LAN ip is 192.168.1.1, then your computer's LAN ip MUST be in the range of 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.255 or there WILL be problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt7 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hey, Again... lol After messing around abit ive got green tick and the test is saying my port is now open.After reading on my "Firewall" settings in my router ive seen it says "(All traffics initiated from WAN would be blocked, including DMZ, Virtual Server, and ACL WAN side.)" so i disabled "SPI" and kept Firewall Enabled. so this allowed the "Virtual Server" where my port settings where to work, or at least i belive this is right, well it provided me with my green tick and my tests say ive got an Open port now But ive still got the problem of a slow download avg 5.0kb/s. Randomly it will go up to 30 i tried the giudes on the forum but didnt get anywhere. any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Your ISP (Opal Telecom DSL in GB?) may be hostile to BitTorrent traffic...at least during peak evening hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt7 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 oh.. i just went on http://speedtest.net/ and it said Opal Telecom. so that means my dl with never be qiuck? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I am not certain about your ISP...depends on their policies and who THEY get their internet from...If it's Carphone Warehouse, you're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
