installed a new wireless router and now bitcomet is not finding my ports it is blocked can anyone advise me how to find them again PLEASE
A modem and a router are two very different devices, although some devices can contain both, however if you want help using your router, wouldn’t it be wise to tell us what router it is your trying to use?
Actually, if you had taken a minute to read that annoying “READ THIS before posting” topic that’s linked all through the forum, then you’d know one of the things we require before helping anyone is the make and model of any router they use.
You should also pay attention to where you post, you put this in “feature requests”, which it has nothing at all to do with.
sorry but i am a novice it is a thompson bigpond wireless router and i am using windows 7 so tell me where to put my question please
You put it where it has been moved to, namely, here in BitComet General Discussion.
I can certainly understand you having difficulties, because it seems you really don’t read anything unless forced to. So now, if you will actually go and read the topic marked “READ BEFORE POSTING”, and provide the information that it requests, someone may be able to help you.
In the meantime, allow me to point out that Thompson is a large and well-known maker of routers, and that they make and have made many, many different models of router.
So far, you’ve said, “my car is broke”. Then, when prompted for what kind of car it might be, you’ve mumbled, “it’s a Ford”. That’s a little better, but a bit more is needed, so why not endeavour to supply what is required while anyone still has the patience to deal with you – a commodity rapidly reaching exhaustion, btw.
When we finally DO have the information you were asked to supply in the first place, we can recap for you things you should have been able to find for yourself, without asking, namely the Guides forum and the topic devoted specifically to port-forwarding, and which includes an extensive question-and-answer session encompassing just about every aspect of this topic.
You beat me to it kluelos… so I guess there is no need for the reply I had prepared lol
You need to setup portforwarding in your router. This will enable it to forward incoming connections to the correct computer.
Now that you’ve installed a router, it’s made you the network administrator of your home network, so you’re going to have to learn a bit about networks to make it work the way you want it to. Put in simple terms, your computer is no longer directly connected to the internet. You can call out, but others cannot call in, so you’r downloading will suffer greatly if you don’t remedy this.
There are online guides showing how to do this for most routers, but you haven’t even identified your routers, only the manufacturer’s name, which I’m sure they make dozens (if not hundreds) of models. Normally I’d find you a guide for your specific router, but for obvious reasons I cannot do that, so I’ll refer you to…
If you do a search on their site you’ll probably find a guide for your router showing how to do it step by step.
As for where to post, the bitcomet general discussion section would have been fine, and I’ll move the topic there the next time I reply, so expect to find it there.
Also, if you want further help from us, then read the topic I mentioned and provide ALL of the required info.
