Cannot sign in and Port detection failed

[JudyGold0]

It worked flawless all the time and all of a sudden BitComet decided not to sign in anymore and also fails port detection.

Somehow BitComet fails to recognize the LAN and WAN IP.

This is from the statistics:

I have Bitcomet 1.4 (64-bit) on Windows 7 installed.

Internet connection is via a Motorola SB5100E cable modem and my wireless router is a Linksys WRT54GL.

UPnP is enabled on my router.

To be sure I added a port forward (TCP and UDP) rule for BitComet on my router. In the properties of Residential Gateway Device (my Linksys router) I even added entries for both TCP and UDP for BitComet with the corresponding port number.

BitComet is allowed through Windows Firewall.

My antivirus is Avira Free (15.0.15.129) with the latest updates.

Only wired connected devices to the router are this computer and a Samsung Smart TV. This was never an issue before.

I ran out of options on how to fix this. All other programs (like this browser) work fine.

the webservers that perform these functions have been unstable lately, hopefully they will be fixed soon.

You can manually test your port at canyoyseeme.org

Aha! That might explain why all of a sudden it worked again.
