*** [ In this thread i used images to explain the problem. But administrator allows me to show only 5 images in the thread. So I used links to images. Click the links to see images because images are important.] ***

I found many of the users in this forum have problems with their SIEMENS C2110 Modem.

Look if this is your modem.



Port Forwarding for µTorrent
1. Setup µTorrent
2. Create Static IP Address
3. Port Forwarding

1.- = Setup µTorrent = -

Before we can forward ports for µTorrent , we need to figure out what ports µTorrent is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up µTorrent .

1. Click Options in the menu. In the list that drops down click Preferences.

2. Click Connections on the left hand side of the Utorrent program. You should now see the menu shown in the screenshot above. Make sure the Enable UPnP box is unchecked. The number in the Port Used for Incoming Connections box contains the port you need to forward. You can change the port number, if you want to. But remember the port number. We need this number to forward port. Here i am using 40400 as an example.

2. - = Create Static IP Address = - *** Dont Skip This ***

Otherwise do the following steps.

1. In the Control Panel, select [Double Click] Network connections.

2. You may have several network connections in this window. I want you to right click on the one you use to connect to the internet. Then click properties.



3. Click Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and then the Properties button. You will now see the following screen.



4. You can give any address in the IP address. This will be your Static IP address. The default gateway should be 192.168.1.1. You can use the given DNS servers in the image.

You should better use the same settings as I given in the image.

You have done the main part. Now your Static IP Address is 192.168.1.100



3. - = Port Forwarding = -

1. Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has Google in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.1.1.

Type "admin" as username and password [default] and click OK

2. You can now see the home page. Then in the "Configuration" tab click on "Internet" and click on the "Disconnect" button as shown in the following figure. This process will lead to you an advanced setup page. [See Image]

3. Click on "Advanced status" as shown in the following figure.

4. Now click on "Configuration" tab again. Now you can see more links. On that click on "Advanced security". You can see Virtual Server Configuration page. On that page click on "Port Forwarding". [See Image]

5. Click the Add button near the bottom-right side of the page.

6. Now you are in the port forwarding page.



Now do the rest of the steps carefully.

6.1. First in the application Name, click user defined and type "Utor1" for µTorrent.

6.2. The next step is the Internel Host IP Address. Enter the Static IP Address 192.168.1.100 which we have already created.

6.3. Next, as in the picture enter the port number 40400 [In the first step, wee given this port in µTorrent] in all the four fields.

6.4. Then click Apply.


And that is it! You are done!

binoop007

man im greatful to you. i found this link in google, and now i am a member of this forum,just to thank you. you did a great job pal

player

great work piratemaster keep it up........but let me tell you something that the option of port forwarding in routers configuration page is not always there for every router .....just like in the siemens sl2_141 there is option like port forwarding.........

skap

Good Job done by you man.

If you find difficulties in pasting images, create a word doc with all your informations, zip it and upload it. It would be very easy for all to download and read. Great work man.

whitestar_999

another easy way is go to firmware update option.there click on HELP link.help page will open with all the advanced options help like port forwarding,dmz etc & below each topic there is a link to that topic so just click on port forwarding link below port forwarding help & you will reach this option.no need to click on disconnect at all.

btw the above methods won't work for new nokia siemens c2110(not siemens c2110).

firmware update option ........gosh wish i could see that button in my router ........the problem is BSNL is supplying the modems which are discontinued by the company.......so its hard to find some firmware upgrades....atleast in my case i cant find them

whitestar_999

@player,i don't think anybody needs firmware updates for recent modems like siemens.in fact it is suggested not to update the firmware unless you are are having very big problems because if something goes wrong your modem will be useless.

superprash2003

i totally agree with whitestar, i dont find the need to simply update to the latest firmware unless there is some really great feature.. most of the time it ends up screwing your modem

player

thanks for telling ........."upgrade milega tabhi to install karoonga"..........hehe.........i will keep your words in mind

dreamygirl

thank you............very very much...............
now i can download with speed 170kbps.................

thank you very much again............

Ever since i started utorrent downloading with this modem, i encountered a lot of problems.

There wasn't any websites providing portforwarding for this type modem.
Then i mailed the siemens customer support team. But they too could not help me. After a few mails between them, i withdrawn from that.

Necessity may be the mother of invention. I found the "portforwarding" page from the help link of my router's page [as whitestar said]. Then I mixed my experiments with some help from the site "www.portforward.com".

I thought many others like me face the same problem. So I posted here. Now I am very happy to hear good words from you.

piratemaster

@binoop007

First of all thank you for your good words.

Me too came to this site with the same problem. I couldn't solve the problem from here. Anyway i got some good support from our senior member whitestar. So keep in touch with this forum.

You can ask any your doubts here. There will be an answer.

sundarbaby9

i followed your steps very carefully but i was not able to open the ports then i found out that i was using kaspersky internet security which has its own firewall so it kept on blocking the port. so in addition to the above steps for those who use kaspersky internet security , disable the firewall and enable windows firewall and add the port number to be forwaded to the exceptions list..

thanks.

What is Static IP????How can i make Static Ip???Help......

meetdilip

It is a permanent identification for your connection. We can have static IP for a fee with BSNL. Please mention your requirement.

There are two static IPs. LAN IP which we can configure, other is WAN IP which we normal mention as IP.

superprash2003

usually required for opening ports when using torrents..
