Port Forwarding Question From a Novice

Recommended Posts

A month ago I set up a static IP and forwarded the port. When I checked with the Utorrent Port Checker it said the port was properly forwarded. The other day I used the port checker again and this time it said the same port "does not appear to be open" ??? I checked the settings in my router and they were the same as before. What could've happened ?

Also, when I connect wirelessly with my laptop, do I need to forward the port or does that only apply to my desktop ?

Thanks -

Yes, you need to port forward when you connect with your laptop wirelessly. UPnP *MAY* auto port forward for you, so check that first.

Networking overloads can mimic firewalled conditions. Try the 1st link in my signature, slow speed/interrupted internet section.
