Solve : Opening Ports, Help!? |
|
Answer» I hope someone can help me out here, I cant seem to find help anywhere, not even from my ISP.... So basically what you're saying is that you get the above error message after you've filled in the info like shown in the image called "window 2"?Yes, that right, I follow the steps exactly so I dont understand the error... Not sure what firmware is, but I can look into the update QUESTION....Firmware is basically the software that makes the modem work. It is for the modem what Windows is for your computer.There is no firmware update for the speedstream.... I wish I could find some software that would let me adjust my port settings, I cant believe allowing a port to be used can be so much trouble....As long as the modem throws you an error when creating the FORWARD no amount of software or tweaking will get the port open. The forward needs to be done on the modem using the config supplied by the firmware. As far as I can see you're not doing anything wrong but just to be certain, what exactly do you do after you get to what is shown in "windows 2"?Quote from: Deerpark on March 23, 2008, 09:06:13 AM As far as I can see you're not doing anything wrong but just to be certain, what exactly do you do after you get to what is shown in "windows 2"?Below the box is an 'apply' button, I just click that and then the error page come up.... As you can see below I have tried different ways of configuring this, the results always the same.... [recovering space - attachment deleted by admin]Have you created all the entries in shown in the image? Do they appear to be saved even though you get an error message? I.e. if you power cycle the modem (pull out the power cable and reinsert it) does it still keep the port forwards you create? Quote from: Deerpark on March 23, 2008, 10:26:26 AM Have you created all the entries in shown in the image?Well, when I log back into the site they are still there, I havent unplugged the modem as of yet, never thought of that, but I will a little later as my wife is on another computer using that modem.... Thanx for the help Deerpark..... Alright, I seem to have found a way around this problem, while browsing through torrent threads around the net I read that 'UTorrent' uses different ports, and that you dont have to release them, after getting rid of Bit Tornado and installing UTorrent I am now able to upload again without port problems....(Whew!) Thanx for the help Deerpark.... Well you're welcome, but uTorrent requires forwarded ports just as much as any other p2p program.Well, the program itself did tests on my computer while installing checking if needed ports were open, and they were/are, I think the ports were in the 6000 range, in any case I can now seed on 3 different torrent sites....Your modem must support UPnP then. uTorrent can tell the modem what ports it needs forwarded and it is done automatically.Interesting, until the last few days I knew ZERO about ports... |
