Quote: i'am new to bittorrent and i have a problem too!
the problem is how do i identify my router? i have a HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter. and this is not listed in the portforward list of wireless routers. and i'am not connected wireless.....
I don?t anything about that router but if you get into the config page of it perhaps you can figure it out. It must have a NAT configuration and under that the Port Forwarding. There you have to forward the chosen port to the IP the router gives to your computer. If you don?t want to go back there every time you reboot the PC, configure a static IP (on the computer). I think you may find info about it in this thread, otherwise search for info about that.
So you get to open the port on the router and on your firewall and you will likely get an OK NAT test under Azureus.
i have a few questions since i couldn't get any answers fo my problems with Azureus.
i have two computers, one of them is connected straight to the modem and the other is wireless, i have a d-link 624+ router.
the computer that i want to use Azureus is the laptop which is wireless.
how do i set the firewall on the router?
and the most important thing is that if i use Azureus my internet crashes and i can't use anything on my computer and sometimes i even need to unplug my router and plug it in again.
anyway, if someone could help me to get Azureus working properly and the internet and the firewall.
thank you very much if someone could help.
Hi, First off a disclaimer I'm not an expert in anyway, on setting up these network peripherals and what not, just an enthusiast!
Anyway, I've spent a few hours playing with Azureus, and like everyone else I was getting my yellow faces! I've got a Netgear WGR614 wireless router. I setup port forwarding as explained in previous posts but kept getting failures on testing the port in Azureus.
After loosing a few more strands of hair, I realised that the problem was actually with the modem not the wireless router. At first I tried setting up port forwarding on the modem but that didn't work, (well actually it did when I connected directly to the modem, not using the router at all!).
Then I read online about the modem ethernet bridge. Basically you put the modem into a "pass thru" state which passes on all traffic directly to the router. On my modem (a Netopia modem), there was a checkbox that set the modem to use this WAN based Ethernet Bridge, (in the Advanced section of the configuration menu).
So... this then meant that the wireless router then was responsible for logging onto the internet so in the routers interface I had to setup the ISP user name and password.
Once I'd done all of this, everything worked hunky dorey, and it was green faces all the way.
The long and short of all this is just for any beginners out there, don't forget the modem!!! It's not all about the router! :)
Okay I've finally got it working. And man did it take a while, since I couldn't figure out my
I have a Linksys WRT54G router.
Okay first off, I didn't use ports 6881-6889. That didn't work for me at all or for a bunch of you guys, so why be stubborn and continue to complain when obviously it isn't working for you?
This may seem repetitive and tedious at the same time, but hey it worked for me.
I listened to portforward.com and I used the port 49153 And changed all the port stuff to 49513. Okay, secondly, type in your IP address (i.e. 192.168.1.XXX) in a new browser window. Log in your account. If you don't remember your password, just type in USERNAME admin and PASSWORD admin. Anyway, after following the steps (the Application name for mine is Azur1, not Azureus or BitTorrent or anything like that). I set the start and end to 49513 and selected Both for protocol and put in the last digit of my IP address, then selected Enable. Yes that is port forwarding. THAT IS ONLY HALF OF IT.
The second part is to set up a Static IP. Go to Control Panel > Network Connections. Double click on your router.
General > Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and put in all the values. Find them by going to Start > Run then type in command. Then type in ipconfig/all
Okay After that, I went to Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Exceptions.
Add Port > NAME: BitTorrent PORT NUMBER: 49153 SELECT UDP
Okay Now I have green smileys. Oh joy, oh rapture.
Hey I did that and I'm going at least 120 kb/sec and at most 40 kb/sec. It's low because, as another member posted, it depends on the where you get it, i.e. website links and such. I'm guessing the Seeds are capping their upload at 40 kb for what I'm downloading.
I've got the problem of not being able to access the router. It's a wireless router providing service to the entire apartment complex, so I'll never even physically *see* the router, let alone be able to mess with it, and i can't login to make any changes. I've fixed everything else, as far as I can tell, and I've even been able to DL some of the Azureus plugins, and uploads are going very slowly (bytes per second), but they're still going. Anybody have any advice?
