Static IP, Port Forwarding, Windows Vista, Wireless Router, Head Exploding

I use Utorrent with out a static IP. have a rule in the firewall to allow incoming connections on the port it uses. These are forwarded to the one machine running the program. Works fine.

e2a

I mean I don't have a static IP on the internet side. The IP of the machine running utorrant is reserved for it in the router.

Well now I can get the web fine, but neither Azereus or uTorrent will d/l or u/l anything at all. The port tests in both progs fails too. :(

Follow these instructions and you should be fine. This way you configure a manual firewall rule for BT port forwarding, but you need to know what ports your BT client needs forwarding beforehand.

Or you could enable uPnP on your router and BT client. This way it should figure out the necessary ports itself.
 
Don't worry. As long as you're game we should get something working ;)

Which method did you try, uPnP or Virtual Server ?

If uPnP, did you also tick all the possible available connections too ? You should be able to check the clients errorlogs for uPnP errors to get a better idea of what's going on. i can talk you through that for Azureus.

If you went the Virtual Server route, did you do all the steps as suggested ? Did any of them give you an error ?
 
First I tried virtual server, all went swimmingly, I wasnt;' sure that it saved and rebooted at the end though, because there was no confirmation. Went back and checked the settings and they're all still there though.

Then I quickly tried uPnP - I only ticked the first box though! It's only letting me have one at a time.

Suggest course of action
Over and out :)

Let's give uPnP a twirl first. If it works its a piece of piss to configure.

Disable your Virtual server stuff for the time being. Make sure its turned off as it will try to grab the same ports uPnP will attempt to open. reboot the router and check its gone.

Now go to advanced settings and enable all the available connections underneath where you enabled uPnP itself. That should enable uPnP correctly on the router.

Now we need to check whether your client can talk to it. What BT client do you use ?

[e2a:Oops, didn't notice you'd already enabled one and that's all it allowed. OK, so is the existing virtual server stuff gone ?]
 
Send me a link in pdf form of your router I will look it up and get back to you with a step by step approach to getting the thing running and opening the appropiate port.
Probably more familar with the terms that most said probably more than most on the topic of networks,networking etc. as I work as a network engineer.

Ok , got rid of all the VS 'rules', then enabled uPnP on Azereus. Ticked enable uPnP on the router and ticked the first box (Pvc0) there are boxes numbered up tp Pvc7

I thiought you said you could only tick one of them anyhow ??

OK, so what we want to do is to fire up Azzy and check the uPnP log.

So from the Azureus menus, go Plugins->Log Views->UPnP.

Do you see anything in there saying that uPnP service is talking to your router.

Also, on your XP box, you running any software firewalls

? Might be worth while turning it off for the test. You're behind a nattng router so you should be ok.

Here's my uPnP log, just after I enabled it and refreshed the mappings. This is the sort of thing you should see, with the .161 IP address being the inside address of my router and .162 being the PC's IP address

Any help?

I live on top of a bastard hill that I curse every time I walk up - but it's been a blessing this week :)
 
Yep

That all looks OK. Its saying your router is 192.168.1.1, your pc is .36 and that the ports 51111 tcp and udp have been mapped through to your PC. I'd expect azureus to allow incoming connections now.

Is there a software firewall running on the PC ?

You running IPv6 on the PC ??
 
I got all the settings from the properties tab of IPv4 in the connection properties window. I thought my Ip was .136 though - thats what it says in the props, and thats what I put in the router.

Yep, my mistake. I have a 21" sitting on the floor 4 ft in front of me, I forgot to bump up the text size in firefox and misread it.

So is it working ?
 
Nah it's not

The port forwarding website suggested that the default Az port is blocked by some ISPs - so I changed it to 51111, and used that (when I was trying VS). Shouldn't make any difference to uPnP though should it?

Torrents wont start - they sometimes get to OK (when its checking the 'scrape') but nothing ever comes down.

No, that's the whole point of uPnP. The client tells the router what it needs, and will update it if the ports change.

I'd still like to know if you run a firewall, but let's see if azureus is open to incoming connections.

Open up a command prompt and type in the following:
Code: 
telnet 192.168.1.136 51111
and see if the connection is established. If it is then azzie should be able to accept connections, if not then there's a firewall or something causing problems on your PC
 
Its a new(ish) PC - only windows firewall is working and I'm pretty sure I've let AZ through. -also running AVG

On the command prompt I get

'Telnet' is not recognised as an internal or external operable program or batch file.
 
Just so you don't end up talking to yourself radar - I've gotta pop out for a couple hours, so if there's anything I can try overnight, leave a message - I'll be back on 11ish.

Cheers again for helping :)
 
You can turn Telnet back on, apparently. From another site:

1. From the Start menu, click Control Panel.
2. Select Programs.
3. From the menu of the left, select Turn Windows Features On or Off.
4. Scroll down, and then check the "Telnet client" box.
5. Click OK.

Handy.. I didn't know windows did that ;)

If the telnet works, the next step I'd be tempted to try is to whack wireshark on there and see exactly what's going on ;)

Personally I'd disable the firewall and AVG just to see if they were blocking anything !
 
Does it explicitly say you can't connect? Or just a black screen doing nowt?

If it's the former then it's your software/operating system. If I understand right, you can't connect to your own computer from your own computer. Don't have Vista so don't know how to proceed with that - no other firewalls/such software?
