my ip address doesnt match the pre provided one

 

[renthor]

We're talking about your local ip address. An easy way to figure out your internal ip address is to run "ipconfig" in a console window, your IPv4 address is your local ip. Enter the last digit(s) in that box and save your settings. Should fix your problem. Also make sure you have an entry there for both TCP and UDP.

And as I said above, setting your upload to unlimited is unwise unless you have say a dedicated T1 or something. You're not only throttling your download bandwidth, but it will also adversely effect your other internet activities, like browsing the internet. It's nice to give back, but do so without overloading your connection.

I get this error

there is no option to have both


EDIT

Ok got it working now and it says its ok on the test

Still no option to turn both UDP and TCP so I have it on TCP

 

[renthor]

Make sure you're filling in all of the port boxes, similar to mine below:

Right, create a new entry, use the same settings as TCP, but just select UDP from the drop down box. Like this:

Ok thanks, now ill try a torrent and see if it still does the same thing

Reason I said to select both in the box was cause I'm able to do it on my Belkin router.

Glad you got it straightened out.

No problem, some of this stuff is way too complicated. And there's too much that can go wrong very easily. Glad we got it worked out, I think you'll find the torrents will no longer slow down. Keep us posted!

Ok seems to be ok now, no speeds under 10. And the upload works great now! Thanks a lot guys. Probably would be hunched over at vista right now if it werent for you two.

I always looked up port forwarding but for some reason it always looked complicated on how to sites.

You guys have any idea why the problem persisted in W7 but not in Vista, even though I had never forwarded the port before?

 

[mansrm81]

Your welcome Gilbertpwns if you have anymore problems with it just post in here.

 

[Gilbertpwns]

Ok it seems to be lagging in speed again. The port is forwarded properly.

 

[Gilbertpwns]

now all my downloads stop at 99 percent

check the seeds... make sure their are seeds that are 100% if your torrents are stoping and this allows more half open connections.... TCP-Z Free Download (Half Open TCP/IP Memory Patcher for x86 and x64 Windows 7, Vista and XP) » My Digital Life which can also help your speeds.

 

[Gilbertpwns]

Hmmm one of them finally finished. I dont know if im using the program correctly though.

 

[Gilbertpwns]

Nope, speeds are lagging again. Went back to vista speeds are fine. I might give up on W7
