How to Set up Portforwarding & Static IP Reply thread.

Hi there,

I really want to say thank you for the information of this topic. It’s really great and help me a lot.

My internet max speed is 1mb, and after I’m followed the instruction from this thread, my download speed can increase until 150kb/s and I got no complain about it… lol.. :lol:

Before this, my download speed can go up to only 50-60kb/s. Once again, thank you very much.

(I am sorry cause I’m not very good in English)

thanks you!!!

ports are always in sealth mode. how to fix?

You want most of your ports to be in stealth mode, all except for the one listen port that you have chosen.

What you do about that depends on the firewall that you are using, but you haven’t told us anything about it at all, not even if it’s software or hardware.

i need help ! I tried every method online but the listen port is still yellow…

i had Configure/verify UPnP status at Windows UPnP panel , Manually Configure Port Mapping at Router for a static IP address but still yellow.

At first i didn’t have this problem until yesterday it suddenly turned yellow. I didn’t change anything but i still can’t find the source to solve the problem. Please help! The listen port turned yellow cause my download speed to be very very low! Like about 5kB/s .

Scroll this page up to the top. There is a link there called “Read This Before Posting” which will help you make your next post more useful.

can any1 teach me if i using WIFI can do the portforwarding??

Sure! The basic thing to understand is that most WIFI connections are firewalled.

That means that if you don’t control the wireless router, or can’t persuade the person who DOES control it to assign you a static IP address and forward a port for you on that wireless router, you’re hosed.

You can only operate BitComet in “no Listen-Port” mode, which will be much slower for you.

You can find instructions about how to forward a port for most routers, wireless or not, at www.portforward.com

You should understand that being wireless does not, all by itself, make any difference, that port-forwarding works the same way, wired or wireless.

Oh, and by the way? That’s “anyone”, not “any1”. I don’t react well to newspeak.

Hello,

I have BitComet 1.25 and i was downloanding files without problem.

From few days i cannot.

I am with windows 7 home premuim, and i am using a wi-fi internet from unknown for me source.

i did not change any settings, the main changes i made to my system was that AVG found that:

“”;“C:\Users\Aram\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\f_000cc6”;“Trojan horse Generic22.LPH”;“Moved to Virus Vault”

“”;“C:\Users\Aram\Downloads\geant_kw.com”;“Trojan horse Generic22.LPH”;“Moved to Virus Vault”

Other thing that may change anything was that i install software for range extender device.

I did not experience any problems before with windows xp and the same version of BitComet and the same range extender device.

My port mapping is enabled and firewall exceptions are added.

All other settings also are probably the same,because i did not change them by myself.

                                                  Thanks.

From few days i cannot.

Can you elaborate on that?

…and i am using a wi-fi internet from unknown for me source.

What do you mean by that? How can you use Internet from an “unknown” source? Unless you’re “war driving” you should be able to get some details for your Internet connection.

Your listen port is blocked. If you down own/have access to the router connecting you to the Internet it will be impossible for you to open a port for incoming connections.

Almost all wireless connections of every sort will be firewalled. Exceptions are rare.

This means that you won’t have any choice with that connection, and will have to operate in “no listen port” mode, which is usually considerably slower.

I’m guessing that he means he is connected to someone else’s wifi connection that was unsecure.

I had a friend who bought a new notebook a few years ago and when turned on, it instantly connected to the internet. She later moved and didn’t understand why it would no longer connect. For nearly a year she had been using someone elses wifi connection and just assumed the computer had the ability to connect to the internet without paying for a connection lol

Actually, I suspect at some point in the future all internet access will be free, worldwide.

Optimist!! :smiley:

The internet will be come the primary source of commerce, and every business worldwide will want the entire population to have access. At some point governments aren’t going to be able to prevent users from accessing satalite communications, it will only be a matter of having the right electronics, and the need for companies to provide internet access will be a thing of the past.

I don’t know if this will be in 5years, or 50, but sooner or later global communications will be open to all.

It’ll be pretty interesting in the meantime, though.

Securing a wireless access point really is pretty elementary. Somebody who has not done that is on shaky ground when it comes to any claim of unauthorized use, I think. It should be an affirmative defense, that you haven’t secured your system – like not fencing your property or putting “no trespassing” signs up, then trying to sue somebody for trespassing.

A wireless NIC will latch on to the strongest signal it can find at the moment it tries to connect. Hopefully, that will be your own, but it might well be your neighbor’s, by accident and through no fault of your own. You can do quite a lot without ever realizing that you’re not actually using your own wireless connection, especially if you don’t use P2P. Your own wireless router might have gone down last week and stayed down, with nothing to alert you to that.


When your neighbor latches on to your wireless, he has your IP address, so the child p*** he’s downloading points to you, not him. Your defense “it musta been somebody else using my wireless” is going to sound really feeble.

If you use a wireless access point, SECURE the flippin’ thing. Limit it to connecting only to MAC addresses of your machines. Bother the passwords, they’re too easy to crack and too incompatible anyway.

Yes, that is what i meant. I am connected to an unsecured wi-fi connection and i am using it for more that 2 years without problems till now.

I am aware that i cannot control the router, i just want to know what i can do on my own PC.

Because my problem started after the troyan removing and range extender install i am thinking that it may changed something and affect my torrents download.

If your looking for a way to get remote connections, there is one (less the optimal) solution. bitcomet version 1.02 was the last version that supported NAT Traversal technology. With this, you can obtain (some) remote peer connections. It’s a poor substitute for an open listening port, but it’s the only suggestion we can offer, short of getting your own internet connection.

Nat Traversal was removed in version 1.03 to make tcp connections more efficient. Currently there are no immediate plans to reintroduce it.

It’s entirely possible that whoever owns the access point simply wised up enough to turn on the firewall, or somebody who knew what they were doing configured the thing for them.

Without control of it, there’s nothing you can do on your end except to try the downgrade that TUUS suggested.
