Mac OSX 10.5.8/Utorrent Port Forwarding Issue

[nolanz14]

I was hoping some folks in here using utorrent and a linksys router could help. I researched several site to no avail.

What I have done so far:

1) Created a static IP (192.168 - - ) in my network.

2) Logged into Linksys and forwarded that port number in utorrent to that static IP

3) Systems preferences - allowed utorrent for incoming connections

My issue is, my IP on the internet is (24.60 - -) and I'm connected to my network through my static IP (192.168.-.-). When I tried to connect to my network using my internet IP (24.60) I cannot connect. Basically incoming connections see my network (192.168) and not my macbook (24.60).

I also read www.portforward.com and how to create a static IP.

I was connectable before and all of a sudden it stopped one day.

If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Check to see if your uTorrent hasn't randomly changed it's port. It does that for me a lot. Also did you lock the static ip to the mac address of the macbook? If not it might not be keeping the static ip, check your network preferences.

How do I lock the static IP?

Also - I have one port that utorrent is using

Varies per router. portforward.com should show how to create a static IP for your router.

I've already done this following these steps:

The static IP is showing when I connect to my network, not the internet. That's the issue. I tried to make the IP I connect to the internet my static IP and I could not connect.
