So what you're saying is that it really only needs that one port open to work properly. And that's traffic in and out?

Why do I get the red warning sign?

If that's fine on my computer (using the USB connection), how does Michael set his UTorrent Port Forwarding up, (Ethernet connection) on our Modem.

I found a couple of sites on the DLink 302G and Port Forwarding, not very complimentary.

The port number I used for UTorrent isn't there, it doesn't go up to that number?
Should I try to port forward again and choose a port closer to the last number listed?

Would our Modem have anything to do with this (302G).
And the DMZ game mode?
I have a lot of Failed Hash Check.
Confused

I gave you the benefit of the doubt the first time Lona, now I'm starting to worry.

What I might do is try posting this on another forum here in Aus. It's very techie and deals mainly in Networking.

Or I might start looking for a cheap Router that doesn't have all these problems.

I might give this a shot.

But before I do, how do I get rid of or more computer speak, delete, the Nat Rules I have already set?

Also last night when I set Michael's, he already had a Nat Rule 2, which had the Router address that is the same as mine?
Now I know you said Sandra that we should have the same Router address, but in his Internet Connections, his is different.
Michael tells me that the Nat Rule 2 is the one I set for my computer, now I'm really confused.

You should be able to delete or remove any NAT rules that you set.
If you cant find how to do it then resetting the router to its factory settings will do it but you will have to start over again with putting your ISP username and password in.

Are you sure that the gateway IP is different and not the LAN IP ?

I went back and checked. Run>cmd>ok>ipconfig/all>enter

Definately different :?

Also I came across one piece of advice for computers on a network.

The default ports are TCP 6881 - 6999. However, new clients such as
Azureus and BitComet only need one port forwarded to work. This might
help people whose modem/router does not support forwarding of port ranges.

If you have several people on your network wanting to use Bittorrent, just divide up and forward the ports. For example :
Person A ports 6881 - 6885
Person B ports 6886 - 6890

5 ports per person, that means you can download 5 files at one go.

I really cant understand that MB :?

Clive · « **Reply #51 on:** September 26, 2006, 17:44 »

Is this the reason MB?

Simon · « **Reply #52 on:** September 26, 2006, 17:52 »

Sandra, just a thought, but maybe if MB is connected by USB, this is just using the ADSL Modem part of the router, which may produce a different IP than the ethernet connection Michael is on?

There's so many pages to this post, Misty it's hard to keep track. I must have had a senior moment. :wink:

Sandra · « **Reply #54 on:** September 27, 2006, 00:52 »

Wouldnt have thought that it would work like that Simon but stranger things have happened.

I would love to be at the pc to see whats actually going on.

How about everyone chips in a few hundred quid each to send me on a 4 to 6 week holiday out there so I can see what the problem is

It's OK Lona, I appreciate the help, I need all I can get. Plus you probably understand what it was about, it just leaves me

I just found this, explains the different addresses.

Default IP address Eth - 10.1.1.1 USB - 10.1.1.2
