Need help with port forwarding

Hope this is the right place to post this ....

the control panel here shows "firewalled" for me. (it also shows that I have uploaded/shared 62.11 MB, which is from seeds I downloaded and kept active to try to have a good ratio.) I just can't figure out how to get port forwarding working correctly, even after looking at the stuff on PortForward.com. I'm hoping someone can help me out here.

I'm using uTorrent on a desktop PC running Windows 10. My router is a Netgear Orbi. uTorrent says the listening port is 18509.

I went to advanced set-up, port forwarding, added a record for port 18509 for service PPTP and with the internal IP address of my computer. (The orbi setup page specifies I should use the internal address.)

CanYouSeeMe.org still says connection refused and the control panel here still says firewalled.

I suspect that I've just missed something simple. Can someone please help?

thanks!

Re: Need help with port forwarding

It's possible your service provider may also have an external firewall as well. In that case, you would have to contact them directly to set up a port forward, if they are willing to do so. You might also have missed something simple, but that's out of my realm of expertise. Use the search function for this particular forum, as there are a lot of threads that deal with this particular issue.

Thanks. I did look at some threads with similar topic but didn't spot anything useful. At any rate I'm now showing 7.95/1.47/0.19 so I guess things are connecting and getting uploaded.

Re: Need help with port forwarding

Forward every protocol to that port, as a test, and that port to your computers static IP (or DHCP reservation).

Also, be sure you create an exception for utorrent.exe in the windows firewall as well. (Click the start menu button and just start typing “windows firewall” to find it). When it asks, allow both public and private traffic.

Additionally, be sure you don’t have some 3rd party firewall like Symantec for McAfee running. If you do, uninstall them all as a test until you can get the utorrent client to no longer see a firewalled connection. Then you can put them back if needed until it breaks and know which was causing it.

uTorrent says the listening port is 18509

Maybe worth clicking the random port button till you get a port number over 60,000 then click apply

Re: Need help with port forwarding

I have been having the same issue since moving to Windows 10. Bittorrent did not werk so had to switch to UTorrent. Firewalled Utorrent allowed through, turned off firewall , checked, no help. Frustrated Bittorrent was better and easier.

Thanks all for the tips. Still not working quite right but working sometimes. I'm about to go on an extended trip so will save all this to try again at a future point.

Re: Need help with port forwarding

Sometimes for some strange reason my modem would change the port number
I would have to go in to the modem settings find the port number for utorrent and change it back to what port utorrent has listed.

running utorrent2.2.1 on Windows 10 PC. Port set to 6885. Norton 360 allowing utorrent. Shut down everything including router for 1/2 hour. Reboot and still firewalled frustrated.

Re: Need help with port forwarding

Canyouseeme does not see me on port 80. Is there a best port for incoming connectios when using utorrent 2.2.1 ? Rarely had issues when using BitTorrent but evidently Windows 10 does not like it.
