clay3482 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I bought me a new Cingular Wireless Air Port Card. It is really fast - and I like it - but when I started up Bitcomet and loked at my downloads I noticed that I had only Local connections in the peer section of each download. I am using Version .70 Windows XP sp2 Gateway Convertible Laptop 512 K of Ram Bitcomet works great if I run it through the WiFi lan but for some reason I cant get the top speed(remote) connections if I am using the Cingular PC Card. Help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 The problem will be with your wireless router, or more precisely, with its firewall. You need to set it to open the firewall and forward traffic for your listen port through it. See www.portforward.com for instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay3482 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Thanks for the reply However - I guess I need to clarify my situation a little bit. I have a Wireless Router and I have the port forward set. I can get remote connections if I am at home. The problem comes up with the Cingular card. The Cingular card is a small modem that slides into my PC Card Slot on my laptop. It enables me to have Broadband Access to the internet if I am in the car - at the mall - anywhere that I can get a mobile phone signal I can get Broadband internet access. If goiing through the Cingular Modem I do not get any remote connections in Bit Comet. Thanks for the help. Anyone else have any suggestions?

kluelos Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 You'll need to talk to Cingular to be completely certain, but whn you use that service, they almost certainly have you behind a firewall and are blocking your listen port. You won't be able to use listen mode, so will greatly slow your download speed because of it. Think about your wireless router. Now think really BIG. This is what the Cingular setup basically is. End users can't control their router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
