Mech5 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I'm on a computer with Windows XP, the second service pack installed. I've already used the patch and given myself more connections. My router is a Belkin F5D7231-4. I've tried Port Forwarding on it twice, and neither time has my light turned green. Everything I'm doing SHOULD be working, but it's not. Any advice or help? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 When setting up the static IP, did you set it to the IP you had gotten previously when automatic or did you set it outside of the router's DHCP range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech5 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 The IP I had gotten previously when automatic. Is there something specific I need to change it to? ---------------------I sometimes get the yellow light when starting after a change in ports (currently on port 10400), but it switches to red immediately after. If I could remove it, that would be a major help. My computer has McAfee Virus Scan installed, the usual Windows Firewall, and uses a Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN PC card in addition to the abovementioned router. I do not have UPnP turned on on the router or uTorrent.One last note. My Internet Service Provider is Adelphia. Could it be possible that they're the reason I can't get the green, connectable light?

Firon Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 No, it's not Adelphia, it's misconfiguration on your end. Hook up directly to the cable modem (and restart it) and see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech5 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Not entirely sure how to do that. But I know there's a solution, and I know I'm getting close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Disconnect your PC from your router, and the router from the modem. Hook up your PC to the modem. Restart the modem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 ...and restart your computer.Make sure the Windows XP firewall is ENABLED before doing this, but give µTorrent access through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech5 Posted June 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 One more thing I may need to clarify - the computer I'm trying to set things right on is a laptop that uses the router. Should I still connect it directly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennistd Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Since a few days i have the same problem. I have nothing changed in my configuration of in the setting of my router. Maybe it's a problem of uTorrent itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 No. And your IP can change without you having to change the configuration. Your router can screw up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TABwebmaster Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I thought maybe someone could help me here since I have a similar problem.I'm using uTorrent 1.5 with uPnP unchecked and port 52000 set within uTorrent. I have DSL through Sprint and my setup is as follows:phone line> Zyxel 645ME DSL modem> DLink DI-604 Router > 2 computers.I have port 52000 forwarded correctly on the router. uTorrent works fine most of the time but I always have a red light down at the bottom so I know that there are people not able to connect. I have tried making my DSL modem a bridge and that didn't work...in fact it dropped the internet completely. I then tried to forward the port to the computer I wanted it forwarded to in my DSL modem configuration page and it still shows a red light.I don't have any firewalls (software) and Windows firewall is disabled. I'm getting the idea from a couple people I've spoken with that the DSL modem is acting as a firewall. Like I said, I tried making it a bridge which should take care of that problem but I lose my internet connection when I do that.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks!Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mech5 Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 No, it's not Adelphia, it's misconfiguration on your end.Where would the source of this misconfiguration most likely be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Your router. Or your firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech5 Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Well, the only firewall on this computer is Windows Firewall, which has uTorrent as an exception, so it must be something to do with the router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
