How to portforward with a verizon router?

[sasuke1423]

I have a verizon router, and its different from the others that i've seen on the portforward guides. I'm wondering if anyone can help? I'm sorry if this subject isn't on the troubleshooting section because i'm new here. Once i went on

192.168.1.1 i clicked firewall settings. On the left i clicked port forwarding and i clicked add. I don't know what service it's in soo i just clicked Create. I entered "UTORRENT" for the name of the custom service. Then finally at number 3.

I'm wondering what Protocol is and what should i put in:

Global PortStart: Don't know what i'm supposed to put in.

Global PortEnd: Don't know what i'm supposed to put in.

BaseHost Port: Don't know what i'm supposed to put in.

Thank you if you can help me with this.

Add the rule:

utorrent TCP/UDP XXXXX-XXXXX Local_IP(computer)

where XXXXX is the port number ( > 10000).

[sasuke1423]

The port number is less than 10,000?

I have mine set at Global port start, end and base host port: 41xxx, with uTorrent configured to use that port.

Works fine

Mine is 54321!

so if utorrent uses port 12345 i need to put 12345 at Global Port start, end, and base?

yes, (that section your using is for port range forwarding allowing you to specify a whole section of ports) there should be a single port forward option somewhere in your router as well but both will work. and >10000 means above 10000 (generally ports under that will can be used by other programs and could cause conflicts, easier to avoid the problem and use a port outside the range.

So your settings should be something like this

protocol = udp and tcp

start port 12000

end port 12000

base port 12000

and then go into utorrent and put the same port in its options.

Or use UPnP if your router supports it. So in this case you don't need to forward a port manually and you can use the option about random port in µT.

I can't put in UPD and TCp at the same time, i could only put in one of them. Which one should i choose?

[moogly]

Create 2 rules:

utorrent_tcp TCP port_XXX Local_IP

utorrent_udp UDP port_XXX Local_IP

[sasuke1423]

ok, i created 2 rules and clicked Done and then clicked applied, do i have to do anything else?

[moogly]

In theory, no.

Sometimes you have to set the firewall internal to the router but the default settings should be ok.

[sasuke1423]

Entry Protocol Global Port Start Global Port End Base Host Port Action

1 TCP 14231 14231

2 UDP 14231 14231

So should it be something like this? I don't see the Global Port End though.

[moogly]

I don't know the role of the "Base Host Port" but if the port is open without filling this field, so it's OK.

[sasuke1423]

Oh, i got this part done, "Port is opened and properly configured" thanks to your help =)

But..... for some reason, i still have this Data and Send Error.

[sasuke1423]

Data and send error while runing speed test.

No incoming connections while trying to download.

Ohh i don't know what to do......
