Re: Port Forwarding driving me mad!

From what it says in the torrent your downloadind your ip address is this 68.75.180.xxx(60000) not this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. The first is your ip as seen from the internet, and the second maybe the local ip that your router has set to your computer for your home network. If you are doing the static ip option or maybe you already did and thats the ip you used then that is the ip you forward.

I dont belive you have to forward an xbox I think it uses another protocal.
what I was saying before was just a way to keep your router from changing your local ip every time it restarts to something that is not forwarded for your computer. disregaurd it if you set up a static local ip address.

I personaly have UPnP disabled as I think it is a posible security risk. UPnP is disigned to automaticaly forward ports for programs that are compatable with it.

Hey I'm self tought too so don't feel bad just try and help others once you get the hang of it. And besides every router and computer is different, even the brightest people get confused at this stuff.

Here's some links that may be handy
