moogly Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Did you try this website? http://portforward.com/
deanjones84 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 Did you try this website? http://portforward.com/yeah i did. you have to pay for the 'pfconfig' software dont you?
moogly Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Nope. Just find your router model, select utorrent and the website gives you a guide.
deanjones84 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 ah man.. that was just an advertisement. didnt see the 'skip advertisement' link at the top. dooche! thanks man. hey quick question before this thread gets deleted or whatever lol, after finishing the port forward thing, should i have entered the new port number into options>preferences>connections>random port box? sorry to be a pain
moogly Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 It depends on your choice to forward a port.If your router supports UPnP, you can enable UPnP in µT and define a fixed port (or not, i.e. random at each start). In this case, you don't need to add a manual portforwarding rule in the router, µT will do it for you.But, if your router doesn't support UPnP (or it's broken/bad implemented), disable both UPnP/NAT-PMP and random port, then define a port number (>10000) then forward this port in your router by following the website.
deanjones84 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 ummm.. ok.. how do i know if my router supports it? the website told me to uncheck the UPnP port mapping box in the settings, but didnt say anything about the NAT-PMP one.. i feel like i need a degree just to understand this stuff lol
moogly Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 The website says that because all the guides they provide are for manual portforwarding, like that, they are sure the port is forwarded correctly. But it's not an obligation to forward manually if your router supports UPnP.Check the manufacturer website, they have surely a user manual online.
deanjones84 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Posted January 21, 2011 oh ok, thanks. I didnt think to check for an online user manual, too busy living in the stone age lol. Cheers Moogly you helped a lot mate, muchly appreciated!
