| 741329 | 2009-01-23 02:03:00 | Hi all, I have been struggling to download using Utorrent . Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't . There is a small triangle orange alert telling me I am unable to forward the port correctly . I have followed all the instructions to a T (So I thought) But I cannot enable port forwarding . I thought I had it right and the last thing I had to do was enter a Server IP Address - Which I thought I had right - But this is not being accepted . This is sooo frustrating . I use a d-link modem with a netgear wireless router . I gave up trying to sort this issue out months ago, and have just started trying again over the last 48 hours . It just seems such a waste of broadband if I am unable to download certain free programs, quickly and simply! Any help, advice would be appreciated! Cheers, Lani . |

| 741330 | 2009-01-23 02:16:00 | What you can do is set the PC to a static IP address - then open Utorrent - find out what port its using (under Connection from Memory) make sure its not set to use a random port. Write down the port number its using. Once you have the port Number - log into the router go to the section (cant tell you where cause I dont use netgear) but under port forwarding type in your IP address from the router - lets call it 192.168.1.25 - then tell it to open port XXXXX <--- being what ever utorrent is using - save it and it should work fine. |

| 741331 | 2009-01-23 02:19:00 | Thank you wainuitech I followed the instructions to create a static ip address and I called xtra for my static IP address. I am unsure what the static IP address is that I created...Although I follwed the instructions correctly. I have been into the netgear section and added my supposed IP address and the port number but I still get the error message of not being able to forward the port. |

| 741332 | 2009-01-23 02:20:00 | Also, what should my average download kb/s be? | Lani (14224) | ||
| 741333 | 2009-01-23 02:23:00 | i have the same problem and i think the port fowarding needs to be set up on the modem, i have come in to some problem with this cause the modem and router use different ip ranges, so you might have to set this up so they both use the same ip range (eg 10.0.0.X or 192.168.1.X) | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 741334 | 2009-01-23 02:26:00 | Depends on the no. of seeders and leechers, most well seeded torrents should allow you to get maybe 40-80kb/s, 1** if ur lucky/ Blam |

| 741335 | 2009-01-23 02:29:00 | Thanks Nedkelly I had wondered if this was th case, I know how to make changes in my router by typing in the server IP address (??) but am unsure on how to do this for my modem. I typed in my modem server IP address (??) and it also takes me to net gear not D-link. I think I am getting slightly confused...lol. |

| 741336 | 2009-01-23 02:31:00 | Cheers blam Some of the torrents have over 20,000 seeders with a little more (Or less) leachers! |

| 741337 | 2009-01-23 02:32:00 | try 192.168.1.1 | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 741338 | 2009-01-23 02:34:00 | ok if you go to router status under Maintenance it says Domain Name Server i think this ip is your modem | nedkelly (9059) | ||
