hulkviper Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Having some problems to open a port on my router, can anyone help? Dlink DI 604tried http://www.portforward.com doesn't explain last part totally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wynter Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Goto the D-Link website, and goto the tech support, and search for "Ports", there should be instructions for a bunch of apps/games/3rd party software (bittorrent). Also, depending on your ver. and firmware, update it. Make sure you also include the port number in the FIREWALLs settings in the built in firewall in the 604.

hulkviper Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 The thing is DLink has different firmware version and my seems to be a strange version (version Dx).Can't find anything for that one, everything I do find looks different!

Ultima Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Sure, it looks different, but are the same stuff there? If you can, just follow the general guideline that they give, rather than follow exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulkviper Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 yes I know, exactly what I tried!Didn't work!The thing is I have 2 type of port fields to type in, Private port and Public portI tried to enter the same in both fields and it doesn't work on µTorrent, I restarted also!

Ultima Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Dlink DI-604Dlink DI-604v2Since you mention that you have Private and Public port settings, it would seem that the first one applies to you... Either way, what did you mean when you said that portforward.com doesn't fully explain the last part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hulkviper Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Private port and Public port, what to type there? I have tried with same port as in µtorrent on both but that doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 The µTorrent port should be the right port. Check if you have the right private IP (Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig).Edit: Oh boy I'm really losing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulkviper Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 what??? The µTorrent port should be the right IP. :S ?????????the port has never been the same as the IPDo you mean if I have the right internal IP? lets say I want to open port 18405, what do I do?

Ultima Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Uh... I'm very sorry about that xDI meant the µTorrent port should be the right port. Make sure you have the right private IP address filled in, using the above steps. Again, sorry about thattt xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulkviper Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 but do I have the µtorrent port number on both public and private?tried that and that does not work!The internal IP is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulkviper Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Nevermind, will install a fresh install as soon as the new nLite comes out and use UPnP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Yeah that link I provided above ( http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-604/Utorrent.htm ) is semi-interactive... read it, and where it tells you to fill information in, fill it in. You would've found out that both ports need to be the same if you actually read the whole thing through ;PEdit: Refresh always sounds nice...

Wynter Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 *scratch head*.. hmm.. well you can try the d-link.ca website, I just dont understand how you couldn't follow, I mean, they had pictures showing you how to do it... and example ports (bt defaults, but no one uses thoes anymore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulkviper Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I did everything as shown on every website I could find, it's weird, it's not workin!A friend tried to help me, he has a DI 704 but it still didn't work I'm on a fresh nlited install now, UPnP workin great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wynter Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 wow. At least you go it working now. which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user9475 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I don't use the portfoward method described above. I have my ports forwarded as follows (since I use bittornado every once in a while and need more than one port open per torrent, I have a range of five ports open):from the main menu of the router: WAN > Advanced > Firewalljust enter your ip that you got from the ipconfig /all command, and whatever range of ports you want to use. if it's just one port you want to open, enter it in both port boxes. note: that's a * in the source start range box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hm... if you want to use DHT, you're going to have to allow UDP also, not just TCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user9475 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 using the above setup, it still gets DHT peers:I did notice that there's a * option in the TCP, UDP dropdown, I will choose that option though and would advise it.edit: after making the above change from TCP to *, I became unclever. I'm going to keep it at TCP, since it doesn't seem to affect the UDP traffic, since it seems to be outbound (I'm not 100% on how the DHT connects, and too tired to read right now ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Meh I guess it should be fine... When I used to use DHT, I normally didn't get above 100-150 peers (was it even that high?) unless I forwarded UDP properly in ZoneAlarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hulkviper Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 hahahaha, I found out why it never worked my internal IP last number is 139 and I thought it was 1 because I was connected to LAN 1 anyway, thanx for the help! appreciate it!

Ultima Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Ehh... I suggested ipconfig above... doesn't it give the right IP address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
