However, in your router, you are only forwarding the ports for 192.168.1.1. So, if you don't end up with that local IP when you restart your machine, then the ports are not forwarded for it.

Take a look at this page and see if it helps you set this up correctly.

Well, my ip address is normally 192.168.1.101 or 102 or 103. Anyway, everytime I restart my computer, if Im going to dl a torrent I check my IP and change the settings on my router accordingly. So anytime Im going to dl a torrent my IP and the IP on my router settings are always the same. So this isnt the problem. As Ive stated, I havent gotten a green light since the day I reformatted my computer (3 months ago), if this was the problem, I wouldn have gotten a green light at some point in time.
