Wala, I got green lights, port ***** is forwared. ip address *.*.*.* is static now. I do believe I have it. What do you think? Thanks much rbrum1959

Thanks so much for the help you have provided so far. These are the steps I followed from your last reply. 1 I reactivated my windows fire wall, now protected. 2 My router is already connected directly to the computer in question, so no action was needed on that task. 3 I used the, Port forward Setup Static IP Address program and made my IP address dynamic which was static. 4 opened up router firewall and forwarded ip port 65432 as before saved and closed. 5 I used PF Port Checker program to check port and port now shows as open. 6 I opened comit and went to options connection and set my listing port to 65432. Wan and DHT both are green now. Question: Do I need to set my ip address as static again. As before when I did this My WAN light shows that the port is closed. CONCLUSION: What I believe is that,I have followed all the steps and proven that I don't have any fire walls stopping the port from opening. But as soon as I convert my IP address from dynamic to static the port closes. IS THIS NORMAL OR MY COMPUTER POSSESSED? I'm at a loss. Not giving up yet!!!!!!!!!!! rbrum1959

Was going to give up but that's not my nature. steps I have taken 1.Used the program to setup my static address, set up fine shows as static. 2 Forwarded port 65432 to my AT&T router,done. 3 Went to bit comet and made port 65432 my listing port done. 4 Used program to check port and it reply's port is blocked !!!! 5 Turned off Microsoft fire wall port is still blocked.............. 6 Port is also blocked,yellow light,in bit comet. Figure that. What am i missing???? rbrum1959

i see someone eddied my post but no answer none of my ports are open?? help plese

Do i have the right port forwarded #70 ? If so,when I use PFport checker, the reply is : Ping results ---------- We were able to ping your computer. Port check results ----- Your port is not open or reachable. This is my info.

I'm sure I will get it sooner or later. Definitely learning a lot. rbrum1959

Thought every thing was fine until this. Well as far as setup of the static IP, this I understand. But as soon as I made my IP address static this in turn blocked port 65432 which was my port I had forwarded. What have I done wrong now? Port 65432 was unblocked and working with BitComet before I made my IP address static. Signed lost!!!!!!!!!!!! rbrum1959

I am not as savvy as I thought I was. I downloaded the manual,all 127 pages,and printed them off for future referance. Read through the manual and I am still at a loss on how to set up a static IP address! I was successful in finding this information and i do under stand it My router external IP address is 76.244.144.147. My internal address is 192.168.1.254 and my internal computer address is 192.168.1.70 . I also checked out the Port forward web site and I still am clue less. I downloaded the Port forward-Setup-Static-IP-Address program and of cores it would not install. The same with the PF Port Checker program,it also would not install. eeeeeeeeeeeee Can you help or am I helpless? rbrum1959

That's not to difficult. I set the port to 65432 in my router. But I don't know how to set a static IP between my computer and my router. Can you help? Or is their a forum for this already? I don't want you to have to be redundant! Thanks much for the help so far rbrum1959

I am using BitComit Ver. 1.23 with windows XP media edition. I have been downloading a very large file,106 gig. My download speed is very slow. I have a 2 wire Gateway router AT&T I need to open the listen port that is blocking this IP address WAN IP : 99.164.62.38.26530 . All I need to know is, What port do I need to set an exception for my router to use, so that the IP address will not be blocked? Which should allow the download to speed up. I think the port 26530.
