I had an issue with that awhile ago. It just turned out that I couldn't do it while I was using DCHP. I gave my computer a static IP while everybody else still used DCHP on the network.

I've set it to a static ip and still nothing.

When you find a working port, connect to your router and forward that port to your ip address. You can find out your ip address by typing ipconfig at a cmd prompt.

^--Do that dammit! Bypass the router to see if it's your ISP.

I had a problem like this with my old router. I could download when the machine was hooked directly to the connection but over wifi I got nothing. I went in and set my router to a access point and that fixed it.

When I run the tester in utorrent it says port is open and accepting connections. But still a yellow light.

Still does it on direct connect, test says port is open though.

Anyone?

It has a red light and when I do the port test sometimes it says open, sometimes it says closed.

Just because your internet downloads are 200KB/s doesn't mean bittorrent downloads will go the same speed....

The azureus faq does a decent explanation of why your downloads could be slow -> http://azureus.sourceforge.net/faq.php#10

I realize that, but it should be faster then that/ I want to know why I can't get the green light.

Call the people who made your router, and see if anything else can be port forwarded.

It still does it on direct connect though.

Call your ISP, then. Use a really high port number.

This is my isp http://www.oincwireless.com/. The guy makes the antennas in his garage. I guess it couldn't hurt to ask though.

Why does that just seem dodgy to me?
