569987 2007-07-18 11:13:00 My Dynamic IP has changed because I had to reinstall the wireless internet CD, and now uTorrent will not work. What can I do? Is the port still open? Chris815 (10270)
569988 2007-07-18 11:35:00 Do you get any sort of error messages from utorrent?
Whatever your ip address is right now, log into the router and forward port to that ip address.

Don't you have to have a static IP to port forward? I don't really want to have one of those....

A dynamic ip address is called that because it changes every time you disconnect/reconnect, is normal.
Follow ronyvilles advice on port forwarding.
(Usually have to pay extra cash for static ip address, dont think you need one).

569991 2007-07-18 12:43:00 Okay, I guess I'll try it out. But how come it was working just before I did the reinstallation? Is the port for the other IP address still open, and if so, how can I close it? Chris815 (10270)
