GTHK Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 If you haven't done port forwarding as shown by portforward.com then yes, a router can interfere. Not much to say about the specific page you displayed, except, was it you that unchecked the "Filter Multicast" option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igotquestion Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Port forwarding is working fine for me, I haven't touched any of the firewall settings they are the default factory settings. What would happen if "Filter Multicast" was checked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Multicast would be filtered I was just asking because of a bug in my router that causes it to overload if that setting is unchecked, I think it's a DD-WRT issue though (third party firmware, you don't have that). Are you having any issues? If the router gives you trouble then update the firmware. Also make sure you are well configured (guides in Speed forum).

igotquestion Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 no I'm not having any problems but I just wanted to make sure that the firewall doesn't slow down my uTorrent speeds especially upload since its only 96 KB/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 If you think your speeds might be slow then you should look at this thread: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
