i used to use utorrent and i never had to forward my port/ports or whatever, and now since i got this bt home hub router thing, utorrent says that i must, forward my ports,

now the other comp on this wireless network doesnt have to do this coz when he tests his port it says its open, even if he randomizes the port, now i put in the same port number that he has and it worked but when he changes the port , mine closes.

ive gone to portforward.com, so please dont give me a link to intructions, id like to hear what YOU have to say, if u know anything about this...

ive gone throught the intructions, and manually forwarded the port that i was on at that time, and it still says the same thing:confused:


any help??????
thnx
:)
 
If you are both forwarding the same port to differet machines... that wont work.

If you are going to use a port forward on a network with 2 machines you need to have different ports forwarded. Try using a different range than your friend (if you are on the same network).. What you are tryign to do it tell your router where this information coming in (on a specific port) is supposed to go. It cant go both places right?
