Hi all. I have followed every tutorial on the net to try to set up my static ip.
I am with an isp that charges a fortune for a static ip so I am setting up a private ip address.
After ages, I have managed to get to the point where the port (13790) is open and seen by canyouseeme.org. It reports "Success: I can see your service on 125.238.62.156 on port (13790)
Your ISP is not blocking port 13790"
When I do the bitcomet natcheck it says "Attempting connect to: 125.236.191.188 port 13790
Fail!
The connection was successful but a timeout occured reading or writing the BitTorrent client data."
When I look at the peers tab some remote connections have initiated but nothing is getting speeds over 1 kbs.
My speed is set to 80% my max. 10 half open connections and nothing else has been changed.
The openoffice download test gets me to about 32 kbs down and 11 up.
I have a dsl502T router and I have opened the ports in both that and the windows xp firewall.
There is no other firewall software on my pc.
I have a supposedly 7.5 Mbit connection although it is only 128 kb upload so wont be anything like that but should still be decent.
I am getting download speeds of 2-5 kbs and uploads 10-16 kbs.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks
