johnwhelan3316 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I think I've opened up the Linksys and configured utorrent.utorrent set up tells me my network is correctly configured.www.grc.com shieldsup! tells me my port is not visible.I have "utorrent" set as the program name on the linksys.Suggestions please.Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amber89 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 what is the question(s)? What exactly does the subject "trying to seed uTorrent 3.2 Win7 & Linksys" mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwhelan3316 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 We have a 19 gig file which is essentially a map of the world that we are attempting to share using a torrent. Its been some time since I used torrents and I think that was an earlier version under XP and the router has been replaced since then as well. The torrent works and I have a copy on my machine which utorrent tells me I'm now seeding. I've worked in the IT field for 40 odd years so have some background knowledge.Win 7 ipconfig gives the machine address as 192.168.0.100, another machine runing XP is 192.168.0.104 I think I've configured the linksys to Port range forward port 52122 to 192.168.0.100 but I'm looking to confirm this especially as grc.com says the port isn't visible.So essentially I'm trying to debug it, looking for intermediate steps that will confirm the port is available to inbound utorrent connections.Is that a little clearer?Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Static IP addressing requirements on linksys routers are VERY picky, and are REQUIRED for port forwarding to work.Same subnet, outside of the DHCP range is REQUIRED for port forwarding to work.

johnwhelan3316 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Static IP addressing requirements on linksys routers are VERY picky, and are REQUIRED for port forwarding to work.Same subnet, outside of the DHCP range is REQUIRED for port forwarding to work.Thank you.The linksys router help mentioned that a static address is required on the win 7 machine so now it has a static ip address and can still connect to the internet. With UPnP mapping enabled in utorrent the tests in setup appear to be OK.http://www.canyouseeme.org/ still shows the port as closed.I've asked someone to try putting in my ip address and port and see if they can connect with utorrent.Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beasly Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Check to see if the port is "opened" when uTorrent is started/active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwhelan3316 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Error: I could not see your service on 69.196.183.186 on port (52122)Reason: Connection timed outHowever utorrent has quite happily uploaded a gig. Since I have the entire file on my machine and Mike started it off some how I think some one else is taking the upload.Thoughts?Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beasly Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 The static ip in the result of ipconfig /all is the ip you forward in the Linksys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've certainly managed to upload 1.5 gigs during the day. utorrent is showing 0 of 4 peers and 0 of 5 seeds.Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
