Thread: How to block ports on airtel router?

I need to block utorrent? Please tell me how can I achieve this ?
-Chetan

just dont forward the port it will automatically be blocked. or do u want to block all traffic from it?

I have not forwarded any port by default it's open can you tell me how can I block it ?
-Chetan

go to 192.168.1.1 thru ur browser;

there u have to enter the username: 'admin' password: 'password' (this is default, without the quotes)

When u get to the settings page after authetication; Under 'Advanced Setup'--->NAT--->Port triggering; here delete any rules for utorrent.

I went there but cannot find any rules its empty
Please advise

what model router do u hav? the 220bx or 110bx?

its 110 BX

and also why do u want to block utorrent's listening port?

by default it was blocked on mine; using the same model. it has to be blocked if its not specifically open... hav u restarted ur computer? and how do u know that utorrents port is forwarded?

PS:Welcome to the IBB forum m8...

Actually there are two computers connected to that routers via a netgear switch the other computer (my younger brother) is always downloadng something from utorrent that give me really low surfing speed, thats I want to block it during day and open it around night.
-Chetan

but blocking the listening port wont really do a lot in helping u surf. let me figure it out... will post again, in the meantime some1 else might be able to help u in the situation.

and if the port forward rule does not exist on the router, then u can be sure its blocked.

There won't be any incoming connections in utorrent, u can check on the other computer; theere will be a yellow triangle on the status bar there.

No it is not the case , all signals are green on utorrent. I heard of a ipfiltering option in router configuration page but can't find one on my router page ? Can you tell me if it's of any help ?

then u can do one simple thing; enable the scheduler in utorrent. limit the download bandwidth during the time u want and unlimit it....

Actually I can't access his utorrent that was mine utorrent I was telling you about. So any other way?

actually u cant really block an application from connecting to the outside using a router; thats the problem; router firewalls are just like windows xp firewall; filters only incoming traffic...

So there is nothing I can do :48:

another solution then, beat ur brother up ... give us some time m8, i think we can work somethin out here...

That plan not always is successful when mom and dad are at home :16:

W8ing for your reply

but by default it will be blocked only.. we dont need to block..

No its not thats why I started the whole discussion thread

you check your nat status in your advanced settings in your modem page to see any allowed nat..

No there are no entries in there . Anything else you would advise
