Help with BT config

[hossaepi]

Hello all,

I changed the port forwarding on my router to open up 6881-6889.  However, bt.etree.org still shows me behind a firewall.  Is there anything I can do to change this?  I'm hovering around 10 kb/s on a cable modem, so its a little frustrating...

Thanks guys.

So your connection goes from your modem to a wireless router and then wirelessly to you?  Can you bypass the wireless and just plug into the modem and see if you still show up as firewalled?  That way we know if its the router or your computer thats misconfigured.

Just tried your suggestion guy.  Went to one of the cpu's not wireless.

Still said firewalled.  I think it might be the router, especially since this cpu runs ME.

Quick question.....when it says enter the server IP, do you enter the IP of your computer behind the firewall, the IP of the router, or your IP from your ISP.....I currently have it as my computer (ie. 192.168.0.2).

Oh, and by the way, YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!  Its so awesome that you're willing to help out total strangers.....

Im sorry that I wasnt clear before.  

What Id like you to do is connect the computer that you use for torrents directly to your modem, bypassing any router, to make sure that youre not firewalled. Then we know for sure that its the router that is what needs configured.  

Im not sure about "server IP" as thats never been an option in any of my routers.  What router are you using, brand and model?  

Its no problem helping complete strangers.

Netgear WGR614g....

Unfortunately, its not possible to have my cpu connect directly to the router.....desktop way too far away from the router, hence the need for wireless.....

But one of the computers on the network is plugged directly into the router.....will that not be the same use?

[jephrey]

Yeah, but can't you, for testing purposes, get a long cable or move the computer near the modem(not the router) and plug it directly into that?  Meaning, take the router out of the loop completely.  

And on your router, you have to open the ports for each cpu's local IP.

thanks jeph......

turns out, im a retard, and didnt realize that I had a personal firewall with Trend Micro internet security.  Opened the ports there, and suddenly, I'm getting 127 kb/s and no brackets in the seeders/leeches page......

Thanks for all your help guys.  Its super appreciated.
