ahull84 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Sorry im def a noob to the whole forwarding stuff and im sure this question has been answerd over a billion times but i just cant seem to find the right one!! I have a Belkin F5D8233-4v3 N Wireless Router and a Motorola Surfboard S85101 modem, also my internet is Comcast and I have Windows xp. I have been spending days trying to figure this out. I have really slow downloading speeds like less than 10 kB/s. I have a really fast connection like DL of 2.5 Mb/s and UL of .37Mb/s according to speedtest.net, at the bottom of my screen where it shows im connection to the internet it says 100.0 Mbps. I also did that hack to speed I used portforward to configure my virtual server to accept utorrent and I have setup my static ip address on my computer and changed the network settings on my internet properties like i have been told to on every website that seemed to know how to explain it. Even though now it still has the little red exclamation point saying "Not Connectable A Firewall/Router is limiting your connection, but for the first few seconds after it starts up it has the little yellow triangle. I run the port opened test and it still says it isnt. What I really need I think is to know what settings need to be changed on the router or maybe something else needs changed. Also....I tried setting up my router as an access point via a utorrent blog it just messed up the internet and I couldnt get on it again untill I reset the router, of course I dont know if that would even help or what. If you need more info to help me just ask. I really appreaciate the help!!! If I also asked this on yahoo answers with little avail, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjEbDgqa7_pBPjbxHe9cgU8jzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20090328084911AARsJyD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Did you try www.portforward.com ROUTERS section for your router and uTorrent?"at the bottom of my screen where it shows im connection to the internet it says 100.0 Mbps."That's your LAN speeds not internet speeds.

ahull84 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Yes I have tried all that and still nothing. I Did turn off my firewall and it speed up the downloading a by about 10 kbps. After i did that it still said the port was not opened, i even downloaded the portchecker from their website, and that said it wasnt opened. I dont want to have the firewall down though unless it is completely neccesary. I followed their instructions to the letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 "I Did turn off my firewall"WHAT firewall? Because even disabled MOST firewalls BLOCK uTorrent. Belkin routers and wireless connections often cannot handle as many connections at once as good wired routers can.You probably need to reduce global and per-torrent connection max to NO higher than 60, disable DHT and Resolve IPs (right-click in PEERS window of an active torrent), and reduce bt.connect_speed and net.max_halfopen to 4.

UOC Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Linksys is the only wireless router I have had problems configuring the ports for. Belkin is easy and the instructions at www.portforward.com are a piece of piss to follow.Can get thru-put up to 1.1MB/s download usually around 5 to 600 kb/s.

UOC Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 which part cant u get configured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahull84 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I went throught and reset everything on my computer and router and then i reconfigured my computer and routher and then restarted my computer again and i started getting green connection saying it was working like it was suppose to. So i guess im good, my average for downloads are about 200kbps. I must have messed something up when i was configuring it the first time and did it right the second. Thanks for the help though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
