ihateforwardingports Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Recently I had to reset my WRT54G2 router and as a result, I lost all of my settings that I had been using. Before resetting my router I didn't have to worry about port forwarding or static IP addresses, the port would be open in uTorrent without changing anything. NOW uTorrent is saying my port isn't open. I went through that portforward site and set up a static IP address, then accessed my router settings through my web browser and put in everything to forward the port...and uTorrent still says the port isn't open.I'm assuming I set up the static IP correctly because I can still browse the internet. I've double checked everything I entered into my routers port forwarding page and still, no luck. I've re-read the portforward instructions several times and I don't know where I'm making a mistake. Any suggestions? Anyone have this issue before? I want to get uTorrent up and running again so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

DreadWingKnight Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'm assuming I set up the static IP correctly because I can still browse the internet.What static IP did you set?What DHCP range does your router give out IP addresses in?

ihateforwardingports Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Originally I went through portforward.com to setup my static IP, but when the port was still blocked I downloaded a program called "Simple Port Forwarding" to make sure I wasn't screwing anything up.Anyways, my static IP is 192.168.1.127As far as the DHCP, I'm not sure how to check that. When I accessed my linksys router it said this:DHCP Server: EnabledStarting IP Address: 192.168.1.1Maximum Number of DHCP Servers: 50Is that the information you needed? Where would I find additional information, if that's not enough?Also, the way my internet is setup, I have the DSL line running into a SpeedStream 5500 modem, which then runs into the linksys WRT54G2 router. I read at http://www.pcwintech.com/how-setup-two-or-more-routers-together-port-forwarding-port-triggering that the SpeedStream modem is in effect, acting as another router, and that I have to change the DMZ settings on the Speedstream modem. Except the link I posted above doesn't go into detail as to how to do that. I've never had to mess around with my DSL modem before, but is that what I need to do now? I know how to access the router through my browser, but what/how do I make the changes necessary. Thanks for your help so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
