from reading the guide, that means i still have something blocking my connection. i'm using a router and i already forwarded my port and setup my configurations following the guide. I don't have any software firewalls. what is the problem here?

You have a firewall blocking your listen port. Maybe you didn't forward your router's port correctly, maybe you have a software firewall you don't know about. In any event, you need to figure out what's blocking your listen port. You can test the port itself (with BitComet running) at www.canyouseeme.org. As long as it tells you anything except that the port is open, you've got it blocked.

i'm not sure if this is the problem, but in the 192.168.0.1 page, there is this firewall section with an allow/deny that i can add/remove. although i think the firewall exists in every kind of router and the point of port forwarding is to get through that if i'm correct, but my router is d-link di624 if that helps

i figured out that it is the dhcp blocking my static ip so i changed the dhcp range and changed my static ip and re-forwarded my port. i tested with www.canyouseeme.org and it worked. but still, all i can see are local and some nat traversal peers. is it possible for anything else to block me? :blink:

Please test your port as klueos suggested.

If it says your not open, then go to command prompt, type "ipconfig /all"

then compare the ip address to the one in your virtual server settings on your router. If it is NOT, then change the ip address in the router, then go to portforward.com and follow the instructions to set a static IP address in windows.

I also recommend doing that step with every computer on your network, to make sure none of them take your IP address in the future. If you don't do this, you may have to change router settings when rebooting.
