fauxkisshb Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 *** WGR614v6 is my actual model number sorry for inconvenience ***Hi I am pretty new to uTorrent and torrents in general. i found out that there was a way to quicken my download speed by portforwarding.I have:Netgear Router Model: WGR614v6Sprint FastAcess DSLWindows XP w/ Firewall EnabledI wanted to know if there was a guide exclusively for my modem because no portforwarding guides have been of help to me as of yet. I am averaging less than 10kb/s on downloads.I wanted to know what would be the most beneficial port to use in my situation, I know how to portforward by connecting to my ip i just haven't been able to find the right port for my situation.Thanks ahead for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcnitrous7 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 when you go to Network Connection>rightclick your connection>Properties>Advanced>(Windows Firewall) Settings>Exceptions (Tab)>On the bottom click "Add Port">type in the porthope this helped, good luckedit: if your using a wireless modem, try to go to Start>Run>cmd>type in "ipconfig">see what your ip address is>go to web browser>on top type in "http://your ip address, ex: http://69.32.13.5">then you SHOULD be presented with a menu of your router>go to "virtual servers" (i think)>and type in the ports (at least thats how it worked on mine)...hope THAT helps too, also if you know how can u post a screenshot of the utorrent window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fauxkisshb Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 alright i have now gone to my router settings and configured the portforwarding along with opening the ports on the firewall and fixing the settings of uTorrent. but it says it's still closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcnitrous7 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 if it say "network" ok then it should be fine regardless of what the portforwardingchecker says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fauxkisshb Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 where does it say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Network OK in the status bar. I doubt it'll say anything though, it'll most likely be blank or say NAT error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
