I'm normally pretty experienced with stuff like this. At my mom's we had no trouble forwarding port for various things. Our ISP there was Roadrunner. I recently moved to my dad's house, and I cannot seem to forward the proper ports for the life of me.
I'm sure it's something easy and stupid I'm forgetting or overlooking, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. Is it possible it could just be issues with the ISP? Thanks for any help.
Lick the router, and put some facial cabbage baggage hair on it.
I
uh
what
Go to Portforward.com and also make sure to have the make and model number of your router handy, you'll be able to properly configure and forward your port there. Also in XP go to start/run/type: CMD/ now at the msdos screen type ipconfig /all to get all your ip address and default gateway info as well.
edit: Thats if you don't already know your IP Address and Default Gateway.
Way to go to give port scanners something to play with :D
What's your address btw, and what time will you be out tonight?
You should remove those screen shots if that is your real IP info. You'll have alot of trouble if you don't. I don't think you want get hacked do you?
That's all exactly right... EXCEPT the DNS.
Get the DNS number fom your ISP. Tell them you have to forward the ports to your Xbox 360 and they will tell you the DNS.
After you get the correct DNS, try the same exact thing and it should work.
this problem always arises from router
check your router type, and add your port number (at NAPT )to open it
:D:D add me to the list sgtMajorQuote:

Turn off all firewalls! Make sure windows firewall is off, as well as all third party software. Reboot and test again, if it fixes the problem, then try to troubleshoot your firewall(s) to allow this torrent activity but still provide you with some level of protection.
Try giving yourself a static ip outside the dhcp range. For example, make the router give DHCP leases from .100 > .107 and then assign yourself ip .110 .. I can't give a reason why to do this, other than thats how I've always done it, and seen it done.
I also run dd-wrt firmware on my router, and I have no issues. It should be as simple as you are making it.
Good luck!
All firewalls are off, and I actually have DHCP turned completely off since all my PCs have static IPs.Quote:

use something else. I wish I was at home I could look at my router config.. i'm sitting at school tho
I've used .100 for as long as I can remember, with no problems until now :(
Well when did the problem start? After the isp switch?
Did you make any other router changes? or just the isp switch
go to the command prompt and type "ipconfig /all" to get the DNS address because the one you put in is wrongQuote:

I went from a WRT54GL with Roadrunner to a new WRT54Gv8 with Qwest.Quote:

So you made the settings "Get DNS Automatically" and went to check it using ipconfig /all?Quote:

Also, can you repost the pic of your router config page?
I think you're using modded firmware....
Have you tried using PCconfig to forward your ports?

Also what client are you running if its Utorrent then follow the guide below.

I know it says WRT54Gv5 but I am hoping that not that much has changed from v5 to v8.
Setting up a atatic IP guide-> http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm
I know you said you already did this but I thought I would throw it in anyway.
I am now using OpenDNS. and yes, it was dd-wrt.Quote:

Maybe that's whats doing it. Did you use dd-wrt with your old router?Quote:

This getting confusing and this why people that post these kind of questions need to give all the info that is need up front like router model, OS and if it has customized firmware that needs to said.
DKedit: ok then try this guide-> http://www.portforward.com/english/r...2/Utorrent.htm
All that stuff was in my OP, but I deleted the screenshots for safety reasons.
I had dd-wrt on my old router
I have dd-wrt on my current router
And also, apparently you cannot use PFConfig without paying for it =\
uTorrent will be auto doing this?
