port forwarding.....

hi......
i am a user of Home 500 plan.....and download a lot durin d night......usin utorrent....but it says....limited connectivity.....or no incoming connection all d time...and dat port is not forwarded properly.....i found d port forwarding guide frm .....www.portforward.com......i did everythin as shown dere.....but still when i run d speed test in utorrent to check if port is forwarded properly.....its still shows an error.....i tried different ports too.......

i can't understand wat cud b d problem now dat i hav adjusted my router accordingly.....to allow port forwarding.......plz help...

i am using....

Router :- D-link GLB 502t
utorrent 1.7.7
Windows XP sp2
Comodo Firewall Pro.

do you use a dialer to connect to the internet or does the internet work as soon as you switch on your modem?

i think your comodo firewall must be the culprit for this issue..........it must be blocking the ports

to test things out.. and to find out where the problem actually is, disable whatever firewall you have in your pc.. for the time being.. and then test.. is your dlink connected directly to your computer , or you have any other router etc in between?

in run box type cmd & then type ipconfig /all in command prompt window/terminal.maximize the black command prompt window then click anywhere on that window by mouse.after that press ALT+Prt Scrn & then open MS Paint(in accessories) & paste.then save image as JPEG(not BMP which is default).then go to any image hosting site like imageshack.us & upload your image there.you will get some links to image.paste the direct link or if you want to show your picture right here paste the "hotlink for forum(1)"link.

thanx a lot bro......here r d images......

[

run ipconfig /all.you post the image with only ipconfig.also show how you have setup the utorrent rule.

you might want to check "Allow Incoming Ping" and then try.. is that WAN connection "BSNL" correct?

ipconfig/all.......

i selected user in....home>advanced>port forwarding....

then i clicked on new...d following screen appeared and i enterd rule name and values......

den i slected utorrent frm available rules and added it to applied rules....

i clicked on d apply tab at d bottom and den hit save all in.....tools>system commands>save all.......and reboted d modem....tools>system commands>restart.......and rebooted my computer also......

hi,

in airtel there is a link:
192.168.1.1/main.html , try if it works in bsnl..

then under advanced setup go to nat and Virtual Servers Setup . Then click on add and from utorrent check the port # and add it there with the ip address as 192.168.1.2

restart the web browser. It shud work.. Same thing mentioned in port forward..

OK!try this.when you set the rule for uTorrent there is a protocol option & you have selected TCP for that.see if you can select something like ALL or TCP/UDP.if not then make another rule just like the utorrent rule you have made but this time select protocol as UDP with same port.also turn off UPnP in uTorrent settings as UPnP & port forwarding will not work at same time.

i had already turned off the UPnP option in utorrent......however i did create a new rule for u torrent in my modem settings......with both TCP,UDP slected......but still wen i strtd utorrent....it was showin dat friggin yellow triangle thing with a xclamation mark in it......but may be it wud turn green after sometime.....i did not d'load anythin....will do dat tonight and see wat happns.....and will get back to u....hopefully wid a positive feedback....

but still thanx a lot........for takin out time to help me......

Hi,

My router is UTStarcom WA 3002 G4. When i forwarded a range say 50000 to 65000 it was not working and utorrent was showing that icon. But when i configured a single port as start and end (55000), it worked for me.

bro u r right....i too read it at someplace....dat sme ports r free to use and some hav already been picked....u need to pick one dats free....but how r we supposed to know which ones r free......it might take dayz for me to find it out....and also u said u forwarded one port i am doin d same......i am forwarding...60442....strt and end both......but somehow it does not seem to b workin....

the fcukin problem is wid DLINK GLB 502t .. this modem sux big time and i believe(in fact i know) that i am not the only one facing these kinda problems with dlink.
The firmware of this dlink model is fcukin outdated and has loads of bugs in it.. even if u forward ports correctly u wont be able to get the best out of your bandwidth. The only solution of this is to use this modem in BRIDGE MODE.. try bridge mode and u`ll be able to bear the atrocities of this freakin shitty product of DLINK

And i am an unfortunate owner of the same product .. so trust me and switch over to bridge mode .. tats the only solution

i did try bridge mode bro.....but alas ...it did not work too....however i cud not keep utorrent runnin.....i'll do dat in d night......but can i ask somethin.....is BRIDGE mode slower than PPPoE.....or did it seem so to me.....

No. There is no difference. Speed is controlled by ISP (BSNL in this case).

speed is surely controlled by the isp .. all i am talkin abt is the faulty firmware of dlink glb 502t which causes lots of hassles even after port forwarding .. in this case utorrent surely works better in bridge mode

looks like wen i was ngaged in my own plans to port forward.....d guys BSNL were tryin to give me d shock of my life......dey sent me my monthly bill..........Rs 5000......its for d month of march.....durin which i had lodged probably a 100 complaints wid dem.....coz my net was not workin.....it was guys at dis forum dat told me dat faulty wiring is d promlem.....it has still been not worked out.....i rarely cud use it in d month of march....den how come i xceeded my limit.....all i wanna ask is....is dere any case dat u guys hav come across...where BSNL has acknowledged its mistake and waived off d extra amount.......or will i hav to cough up Rs.5000.......

chk ur account usage and get back to us .. somebody might have hacked ur account(which is pretty easy) and screwed it !!

dis is wat it shows.....but i don't get it.....i hav not d'loaded dat much durin day time at all......

your 13th entry is from 21:48PM in night to 1:25AM in night next day(total about 3 hours 40 min).are you sure you didn't left your computer & modem on connected & some download continued in that time?

yes bro i am 100% sure....i don't d'load anythin durin daytime.....maybe a song or two....nthin much.....usually i might d'load around 15 to 20 mb durin d day.....but nthin of sorts which is shown in d details......

wat do i do......d guys at BSNL hav strtd dere thing again.....one tells me to call another....he refers me to someone else...so on and so forth....

incase someone maybe using your account.Wouldnt it be better you change your password right now?? before they continue misusing....

how come someone misuse an account just by knowing the username and password . i thought u need the exact telephone line to do that.

Bridge mode will be some faster than PPPOE mode, because in PPPOE mode, each of your incoming and outgoing packets need to be NAT. But this is not the case for bridge mode modem. The packets will be directly forwarded to your computer without NAT. So you will see some speed increase in bridge mode.

Hi prashant, i came across your thread. May i know your modem model and type. Whether it is type IV or II?

i am using a modem of my own.....D-Link GLB 502t..........i am not xactly sure of the type....it has one USB and one ETHERNET port....and also a built in splitter ...so one port to connect d phone also......

Ok i thought if you are using Wifi, then there are chances for misuse.

If there is no billing issue by BSNL and if nothing went wrong from your end, then there are chances that

a) DACS box might be used in the mid way of your telephone line. But it is costly

b) Other scenario might be, i tell ....

do you keep your modem always ON ?

is ur modem wireless ?? and if its wireless have u secured the network or not ?? if its wireless someone in ur surroundin areas can screw ur bandwidth and in case it isnt wireless then someone hacked into ur modem n then stole ur username password. In the former case u can do nothing except securing ur network. In the latter case u can register a complaint in bsnl(which wont be useful anywayz)

sharks_me -
Modem model is already discussed as Type I. But you again put questions asking for 'is ur modem wireless? and if its wireless have u secured the network or not ?? if its wireless someone in ur surroundin areas can screw ur bandwidth'

Everyone please go through full thread before posting.

thanx a lot bro......changin my modem to BRIDGE mode did work......now utorrent shows a green icon......and says my network configuration is as it shud be......all thanx to u....d speed is also up and more importantly it is a lot stable dan b4.......

and also about dat excessive billing thing......i think i will hav to pay it.....no one wants to listen to u in d local xchange.....dey say if it shows dat much usage den i hav to pay d same.....notwithstanding d fact dat about a twenty complaints in dere register show dat i had been complaining for literally all of d month.....

could anyone explain how this exessive billing happens in non-wireless modem .
even if u know the username password i thought u need to have the exact telephone line to connect.
i have a home pc.
i thought only if a robber enters my house and connects to net i would get charged isn't it?
can you use the username password on another telephone line to connect?
please clarify

can you use the username password on another telephone line to connect?
please clarify

yes if the account is not port binded.currently port binding is in place in large/metro cities only.

dis is wat it shows wen i click on add to applied rules.......

you can't use port forwarding in bridge mode because you don't have to!!!!there is no need of port forwarding in bridge mode as all ports are automatically forwarded to computer & that's why the error.

oohh...ok.....but bro why does utorrent displays dat friggin yellow icon sayin dat my network configuration is not as it shud b......

It will take some time to show a green icon when your download
and upload will start then only it will turn green( as in my case).

if you have some firewall installed on your computer make sure that you open the uTorrent port in that firewall too.by default windows firewall is enabled until you turned it off or install some other firewall.
