Could you help me portforward. I have followed the instructions carefully that are outlined in portforward.com I am trying to get utorrent to show the green checkmark. With no luck so far. If anyone could share a trick or tip that would be fantastic!

thanks

How about using UPnP? Works perfectly to give uTorrent the green checkmark.
But also have a look at your intenet gateway modem, that also needs forwarding ports sometimes.

i set up the router for pppoe. Im not sure if i can switch it to upnp? What are the advantages. im on a highspeed phoneline.

I have portforward problem with my DIR-655 (1.33NA).

My PortForward configs don't stay saved after a reboot.

Anyone knows how to correct this problem?

Set UPnP on the DIR, and open up the uTorrent port also on your modem (if it has closed ports) it should work automatically.

@JBMedeiros: Please open your own topic, you're hijacking the OP's request.

im not sure how to set up UPnp on the dlink. Any tips would be great. Ill do some reading about it.

As far as the modem, ive never looked at it. It is a Alcatel SpeedTouch Home. I will have to read how to open up a port on it too.

I wish it wasnt so difficult to portfoward.

I appreciate your help.

Log into the router as the admin.

Click the Advanced tab on the top.

When it loads, click the Advanced Network link on the left side.

Check the box that says enable UPnP.

You could ofcourse try the manual that is included on the CD or on the Dlink site. Internet 'slang': RTFM

Unfortunately with no positive results. No green check mark in utorrent?

Do you guys have any other tips?

I really want to portforward this set up.

thanks

Torrents sometimes do not go green for some time.
I have had some go for over 5 minutes and sometimes longer without going green but download goes fine.

Do you get any download progress?

If you do then not going green could just be peers do not need any pieces from you.

If the setup guide (top of UI, options, setup guide) passes then all is OK.
You should also see UPnP entries in the router log.

I have tired the utorrent portforword checker on uttorrent, as well have logged on to other websites that check if your properly portforward. Each time i get the message that my computer/router is not properly configured.

I can download torrents, and upload torrents just fine. Uttorent will either show the yellow or red sign in the bottom. Never green. There is so much documentation on portforwarding, that i cant imagine how or what im missing.

"RTFM"  Dude, i have tried. Im actually not technologically dumb, its just this one crazy thing i can not seem to get rolling.

Sounds like you have an older version of µTorrent as the new versions have done aways with the port checker.

Tried updating to the latest version 2.0 Build 179.20?

[octapuss]

Good tip!

I DL the new version. Ran the speed test and bam the green check mark. I didnt do anything with the router. I did a check with a port checker web site and they say it is open as well. I guess going to 2.0 was the answer.

Thanks for the help people.

If UPnP is on then you should not have to forward ports as µTorrent works real well with UPnP.

just to clarify if uPnP is on the router or on the utorrent settings?   or both?

just want to make sure i have optimal settings.

thanks cobra
