ehacker Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hi there, sorry if this has been covered already. I have been searching and trying stuff, but can't figure it out. And trying to use some of the instructions on here are so confusing!I have had my Utorrent port forwarded for ages now and everything was fine as far as I know (I haven't checked it in a while). But now it won't stay open. I can get it open, but it closes soon after. I have tried everything I can find or think of. I really need some help!-I set up a static ip-I added the port to my router-Router is: Linksys BEFSX42 version 2.1-I updated the firmware of the router-My ISP is Rogers cable, and it goes from the wall to modem to router to PC-The firewall on the router is enabled-I am using Norton 360 version 3.5.0.15 and added Utorrent to the firewall-I have tried resetting everything, no help-I have tried turning off the firewalls, no help-I have tried changing ports, but everytime I do, it works for a bit, then closes.-On the uTorrent port checker it says "An error has occurred! Port 6881 does not appear to be open.". But 6881 is not the port that I use for uTorrentAnyway, I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks in advance!

Switeck Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 You might want to try this to see if it fixes the problem:http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039We do NOT recommend using port 6881 especially. It's far better to use a much higher port number -- between 10000 and 65000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehacker Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I tried that, I also uninstalled, then reinstalled norton to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehacker Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 And as I said, I am not using port 6881, that is just what the uTorrent port checker says when I go to it. It says that no matter what port I am using. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Ok, screenshot the Speed Guide (CTRL+G) window in uTorrent...and if you can get any semi-useful background info in uTorrent keep that in the picture. (Such as speed graph at 1 hour intervals, how many torrents you have active and how many seeds/peers you're connecting to...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehacker Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 What info do you need exactly, the screenshot won't work? And where is the speed graph? I have been playing with the speeds and settings to try and get things to work. But not sure what the optimum settings should be? Any suggestions on the best settings and how to get the port forward to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 The Speed graph window/tab is at the bottom window of uTorrent. (maybe you have it turned off?)I don't know what speeds your line can sustain down and up...which is very important to know for best uTorrent settings.

Switeck Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 For SCREENSHOTS, upload them here: http://www.imageshack.us/...then give us a link.You have either a "hidden" software firewall, an unconfigured router, and/or an ISP that hates you.
