Browndog Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Hi FolksTotal noobHere's the deal:Utorrent InstalledO/S - XP proISP - Wanadoo, wireless and talk UK (8meg supposedly haha! Tested Network Bandwidth: anywhere between 1&2mbWireless Router: InventelFirewall/Security: Norton Internet Security 2005 - fully up to date.I've followed the port forwarding instructions to the letter, yet still when I test the port on the site it says that it is closed.I've matched this port to Utorrent on the preferences menu (although pointless because the port is closed).When I've started a torrent the d/s painfully rises to about 6.2 kB/s then falls back down again and stops.help please!
Browndog Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Posted February 3, 2006 right this is baffling me now....After much tinkering I got the "network ok" on Utorrent yay Then my notebook suddenly shut down presumably because it overheated.I restarted Utorrent....I've got NAT error!! Can someone please tell me what the freak is going on?thanks in advance
Firon Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Um, can you try uninstalling NIS or something?Also, make sure your PC has a static IP, and that you've forwarded your ports to said static IP.
Browndog Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Posted February 3, 2006 Not sure how I feel about disabling NIS, haven't got hard copy so to speak, wouldn;t that make my pc unsafe?Static IP set and forwarded (tick).I read earlier that you can set a higher static IP address and this sometimes resolves the issue? Is this true?thanks for the reply
Browndog Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Posted February 3, 2006 also, when I set the static IP I get this message:The IP address 192.168........ you have entered for this network adaptor is already assigned to another adaptor '805.11g USB 2.0 adapter'. '802.11g USB 2.0 adaptor' is hidden from the Network Connections folder because it is not phisically in the computer. If the same address in assinged to both adaptore and the both become active, only one of them will use this adress. This may result in incorrect system configuation.Do you want to enter a differen IP address for this adapter in the list of IP addresses in the Advanced dialogue box?yes/no?perplexed
