incoming port depending on connectiontype!?

[swe_downhill]

Hello there!

I have been searching the forum and found that some want a feature to randomize ports within a specified range. And that's as close as it gets. However, that's not exactly what I am looking for.

I have been using uTorrent via both cable and wifi (not at the same time though) and the thing is that I can't set the same port forwarding options for two different local IPs (one IP for my wired card and one for my wireless). My router (D-link DIR-855) says there is a conflict and that two different IPs are using the same port. So what I have to do is open one port for my wired connection and one for wifi and when I switch between these two, I also have to switch port in the uTorrent settings.

For example:

Wired connection (local ip 192.168.0.156) - port 51257 open in my port forwarding options and the same port set in uTorrent

Wireless connection (192.168.0.189) - port 51258 open in my port forwarding options and the same port set in uTorrent.

Im looking for a feature to assign different options in uTorrent depending on which connectiontype I am using. I understand that it might be though for the program itself to recognize. But Im thinking of something like "if this port is not open, then try this instead". So that you can write down a few ports that uTorrent can use and in what order you want uTorrent to test them.

I have activated DHCP reservation in my router so that my network cards will always get the same local IP and so if I am using wireless connection and restart my computer, the port will still be open since I recieve information to continue use the same IP, before I was using DHCP reservation it would usually change IP every now and then. (but is it possible to assign the same IP to two different cards since they won't be connected simultaneously, then my problem is solved).

Is there any way to fix this issue or are there any chance that this might be implemented as a feature later on? Thanks for your cooperation // Martin

You could just use UPnP.

Hi again!

UPnP is enabled but the port needs to be open and since I do switch between wired and wireless sometimes, it would be great if I didn't have to change settings each time.

Don't forward the port at all. Let UPnP handle the forwarding for you.

Never mind.. It all seems to work after some changes.. I had to enable UPnP-settings in uTorrent and also clean-up the port forwarding settings in my router (so that no ports are reserved and not just deactivated).

Thanks for helping me out! // Martin
