deshpande Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 My bitcomet version is 1.25,and os win XP SP3,connection type ADSL. I had managed to open the listen port before and was working fine for many days, but now from about 3 days i am unable to open it, it shows listen port blocked. Before the port was 16639 and now i tried to open by adding different ports after 16639 was blocked, but still i am unable to open it. please help. thank you.

deshpande Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 I had read those before and opened it.......just a while ago i noticed that my lan IP has changed form xxx.xxx.x.2 to xxx.xxx.x.5 could that be the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasy Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Yes, that's the problem. When you forward a port in your router you also need to choose an IP address, it stays open for that IP address, but when your computer asks for a new IP address, the router has no port forwarded for the new IP address so all (0-65535) ports become "Blocked" The easy way to fix this is to use this app. Then you'll need to forward your port again for the new, static, IP address.
