OK I've done everything but still Firewalled on Comcast

Simple Port Forwarding. Try this tool. It has a lot of routers in the list and if it doesn't have yours it offers a tool on their website to record your router screen. The guy who's in charge of this program is very quick with the rooter updates.

Toshiba DAZ8821F

Level One WBR-6001

pretty sure this isn't static

utorrent clicked enable UPnP port mapping ?

utorrent test says I'm good right now, and my check mark is green.

uTorrent 2.0.1 (build 18833)

I'm about to pick a torrent to run and see if I'm listed as firewalled or not before I continue.

Now trying to seed

I'm firewalled. A couple of days ago, I wasn't for a while.

Any of you experts have any ideas other than I've configured wrong or Comcast is screwing with me, I'm willing to go through the steps again (tomorrow though, it is late )

get off comcast residential svces period. xfinity is comcasts way of screwing us all so get off of that too while you're at it. were on comcast business class here so if you want to go that route, do it. hmm, 45 a month to be throttled by comcast and xfinity offers the same speed and throttling for half that. pay 10-15 bucks more a month and get a comcast biz class pipe. you dont need a static ip unless you host a site. the dhcp from them would be just fine. anyways food for thought folks.

best part of the cc biz class pipe. no throttling, no limits, no cap, no bullshit, period!

No doubt cc biz is a good deal. The only shortcoming I have come across is the SMC Modem/Router. You really cannot do enough with it to make torrent NOT drain your connection. The ability to set the number of ports and timeout settings for TCP and UDP like DD-WRT allows for is sorely missed. These settings made a huge difference and now without them torrents are bogging down the network again. Working on the issue though, will see what I can do.
Just an FYI

Use a client that allows setting upload / download limits. I'm currently using
utorrent which allows setting limits for each torrent. I'm sure others do as well.

Thanks, I was referring to the massive amount of connections that can over run your router as stated here in a DD-WRT wiki:

Usually the culprits are heavy P2P software like Emule, Bittorrent, uTorrent, Azureus, Shareaza or something similar. These programs, by default, can require a lot of connections which could cause the routers' ip_conntrack table to get full.

* Especially BitTorrent's DHT feature sends thousands of UDP packets that quickly overflow this table.

I already use connection controls and I use the scheduler to balance traffic usage so most of my torrenting goes on when folks are not using the network for surfing or watching TV shows! I am also exploring limiting connections within utorrent.

Never ran into that problem with comcast or my router (Linksys). After comcast
got popped for forging disconnect packets they then moved on to port blocking.
About every two to three weeks of heavy use I'd find my ability to d/l or seed
to be almost gone. Change the port assignment in utorrent, change the setting
in the router - back in business.

Between that and issues with their cable service - I've moved on. Not perfectly
thrilled with AT&T U-Verse, but the internet is much better in my area.....

Every fucking month, cc adds some kind of bs charge that ups the bill. blech!

[teamhood]

Any advice on comcast biz class > linksys router? I can't seem to get decent torrent speeds. I've got the smc3g from comcast have it in dmz to my linksys. Torrent speeds horrible....
