Hey, just want to keep the thread at the top of the page so it isn't forgotten. Still got the question in last reply.

Wow. Uh yeah I think I'll call MSN and see if they can give me a new modem. Which one would YOU suggest? I don't want to think "Hey I'm choosing the right modem" only to find that I just made things worse. Thanks.

Close. I have a wired only modem. Other than that everything else is true. Again, computer upstairs; my computer, has a PCI Wireless card in it (Linksys WMP54G). That wirelessly connects to the Linksys ROUTER (Model number: WRT54G v.2.02.7). Through the router I get to the internet by my ARESCOM NetDSL 800 Modem made by MSN. Now downstairs , my dad connects to the same ROUTER, the WRT54G v.2.02.7 model. Reminder: The WRT54G v.2.02.7 model router has wireless AND wired capabilities. My dad's computer connect to the very same router through and ethernet cable. And through the very same router, he gets to the modem and to the internet. This is about as clear as I can get. And to answer Bitdave's question, my ISP is MSN. Again, sorry for the 3 day delay. School is a complete time-whore.

Wait, replace my router with his? Alright, let me just be specific here. And sorry for not replying for 3 days, school has had my attention for a while. My wireless connection is through the WMMP54G, which is a PCI Express card. Not like a router where it's operational outside of the computer. My dad is hooked to the wireless/wired router. He's hooked to the router through an ethernet cable, and through the router, an ethernet cable to the modem. The modem is not wireless. The purpose for the router being wireless is to hook me up to the modem too. And sorry for not being specific, I'm probably giving you trouble here.

Thing is that the computer I'm trying to setup a static IP address for is upstairs. That's my computer. My dad has a computer downstairs and he has his computer connected through the router to the modem. So there's two of them. Does that mean I have to setup a static IP address for both of our computers?

You sure he didn't salt up the wound? Sure sounds like he did. Kluelos you're helping me out so much, don't stop now. Did I get those right?

QUOTE And then in my router I have in "SETUP" page... Internet Connection type: STATIC IP Not good. Who told you to do that? _______________________________________________________________________ Nobody. Since I'm setting up a Static IP I thought that would be a part of it. I guess not. _______________________________________________________________________ QUOTE Internet IP Address: 192.168.1.2 Even worse. You probably won't connect at all this way. You need to set this whole section up the way your ISP told you to set it up, and henceforth leave it alone. _______________________________________________________________________ What? But I'm connected right now. On the wireless computer, with these settings. _______________________________________________________________________ QUOTE Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252 Why are you doing this? _______________________________________________________________________ It was set up that way. _______________________________________________________________________ QUOTE Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Static DNS: 192.168.1.1 These will probably also give you trouble. Again, set this whole section as your ISP told you to set it, and don't alter it. You are working with the wrong set of settings for the router. You need to be working with the LAN side of things, not the WAN side. QUOTE One more thing, in my router is a firewall. It is turned off and the port for BitCom1 is opened (55555 TCP & UDP). No, it isn't. If your firewall is turned off, then you have nothing to forward a port through. If you have the router firewall turned off, a not-so-bright thing to do, you don't need to forward a port. But it should be enabled again, because you reset the router to its defaults, right? You DID do that, right? Not still screwing about on your own, thinking you know better? _______________________________________________________________________ Alright alright alright so I screwed up about as bad as getting screwed by a gay guy in a jail cell. At least pour water on the wound rather than salt. _______________________________________________________________________ Also, I changed all that now. So now here's the info for... WMP54G V4 (Wireless Network Connection) IP Address: 192.168.2.2 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1 DNS: 192.168.1.1 WRT54G V.2.02.7 SETUP PAGE Internet Setup Internet Connection Type: Automatic Configuration - DHCP Network Setup Local IP Address: 192.168.2.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 DHCP Server: Enabled Starting IP Address: 192.168.2.2 Max. number of DHCP Users: 3 Static DNS: 192.168.2.1 STATUS PAGE Internet Configuration Type Login Type: Auto-Config - DHCP IP Address: 192.168.1.2 Subnet: 255.255.255.252 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 DNS 1: 192.168.2.1 DNS 2: 192.168.1.1 I dunno why on earth I have those, nor are they on the setup page. What I stated above in the setup page is what is in there.

I dunno what the heck I was thinking, but my Wireless Network Connect is actually a WMP54G V4. THAT is hooked up to my computer, and it connect to the WRT54G v.2.02.7

Here's some things about my computer. Fresh install of Windows XP Pro (original disc, had to reinstall), Service Pack 2, fully updated, no antivirus software or firewall software except for Windows Firewall and Router Firewall. Here's what I've done. >> In Network Connections -> Wireless Network Connection (Linksys Router WRT54G v.2.02.7) [clicking on Properties] -> Internet Protocol [clickingt on Properties] I have... IP Address: 192.168.2.2 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1 Perfered DNS Server: 192.168.1.1 And then in my router I have in "SETUP" page... Internet Connection type: STATIC IP Internet IP Address: 192.168.1.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Static DNS: 192.168.1.1 And then in Bitcomet, I have port 55555 opened. And in Wireless Network Connection [Properties] -> Advanced Tab -> Settings, I have Windows Firewall turned ON but in Exceptions Tab, I have BitComet allowed. Two exceptions. BitComet 55555 TCP & UDP. One more thing, in my router is a firewall. It is turned off and the port for BitCom1 is opened (55555 TCP & UDP). Is there anything I'm missing? Plus, I cannot be seen in canyouseeme.org.

Yeah um, someone help me out please?

JCBuz I would love to know how you did this. I've had the same problem for a long time and just not too long ago I called linksys and set up a static IP for myself. Yet, canyouseeme.org still can't see me. What did you do different?

Alright, I have ZoneAlarm Pro, Windows Firewall, and Avast! Antivirus. All of them except Avast (which only deals with viruses) are off. Also, my Linksys router has the ports open, Could there be anything else that could be blocking BitComet? No the website could not see the port.

I contacted Linksys tech for my WRT54G (version 2.02.7) and I set up my Static IP Address. It works perfectly (for Firefox). But I'm still getting no Remote Connections and slow speeds. My torrent has a 5kb/s download speed and a 10kb/s upload speed. And the seed/peer[all] tab says 12/42[12/1509]. I'm barely connecting to anyone!

Still trying to get Remote Connections here. I'm getting mostly Local and some NAT Traversal connections. I have port 55555 specifically opened for Bitcomet. 55555-55555 only. I configured Bitcomet for that port and configured my router (Linksys WRT54G version 2.02.7) to let Bitcomet through that port. I followed portfowarding.com or whatever that site is to the exact letter, yet not a single Remote. Any answers that could answer my problem? I'm not new to this thing, so I kindly ask that you acknowledge me as a sort of an expert at this and not give me common solutions such as "You probably do not have your ports right". Thanks for taking the time to read this, I greatly appeciate your help.

Funny, I have the same problem too. It just doesn't occur every time I leave Bitcomet on overnight...
