Hi,
Apologies for posting here but I'm not really sure where else to ask! I've tried all manner of things but cannot shake the 'An error has occurred! Port xxxx does not appear to be open.' error message on the uTorrent test page and I'm currently flying along at about 24kbps on a well seeded torrent.
I'm using a Netgear router and have followed the examples perfectly from Portfoward.com (http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/DG834G/Utorrent.htm) but still no joy.
• It says to setup the services: http://i45.tinypic.com/2w5vuh0.png
• Then the rules: http://i49.tinypic.com/f1fs0i.png (I entered my PC's IP, I assume that's right?)
• I also checked the uPnP settings: http://i50.tinypic.com/20048zt.png
• And just to confirm, I think uTorrent is setup okay: http://i45.tinypic.com/9ibyg3.png
... I have no idea why it isn't working properly - I'm wondering if it's something to do with me disabling NAT or DCHP (every thing on my network has it's own IP address, externally as well as internally)
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this I'd really appreciate it, because the speed my torrents go at the moment I may as well not even bother, hehe.
Thanks
Quick update - I've tried adding a rule for both my current PC (xxx.xxx.xxx.210) as well as my router (xxx.xxx.xxx.209) at the same time and still no joy unfortunately.
