Thread: Firewall/Router Issue

I have a red notification in the bottom right hand corner of uTorrent that says, "A network/router is limiting your network traffic. You need to open a port so that others can connect to you."



What do I do?

What router do you have?

This: WGR614

Anyone? My dloads are going slow.

Goto"Portfowarding/Port Triggering" in the setup wizard at site http://192.168.1.1/start.htm

Add the port under "Add custom service" under Port Forwarding. Add the port with the start port and end port for the one you with to open for uTorrent (i.e. port 1 start port 48705 and end port 48705...etc..etc).

Lemme know if it works.

How do I know which numbers to put in?

Also, what do I choose for Service Type?

If you use Windows you will also need to make sure the port is also open in your windows firewall. If you go to uTorrent preferences and select connection there should be a check box to add an exception to the windows firewall. Make sure this is selected, and uTorrent will do it for you.
