Port/Network HAAALP required

OK so I've been having a lot of problems with slow internet for torrenting and not being able to connnect when gaming online.

I either get normal speeds which is fine or absolutely nothing. Now i've been playing about with port forwarding but can't seem to get things to work properly.

I've taken the following to show the position I'm at and just want to see what points anyone has.

First here's a port search program which shows all but 4 ports are blocked from my PC (not firewalss I've checked)

Anyone know how to stop them being blocked???

Now i managed to find port 80 open so have force utorrent to use it now.

And suddenly torrents are downloading so great.

EDIT: OK so now torrents go at full speed but after 15 min or so the router seems to fail and i loose connection but am still connected to the net. But then just disconnect and reconnect and the torrents start up immediately. Very weird and will make downloading useless if i have to manually reconnect every 15 min

Any thoughts???????


Next issue is BFBC2 and other games as its not even letting me sign in or anything.
I've tried playing around with the O2 box and managed to get these details in.

The port numbers I've used are taken from other sites but not sure if they've been put through correctly.

As it looks like port 80 is the only one which is working how do I force all info to go through it???? Or alternatively how do I get the other ports open???


HAAAAALP from one very frustrated gamer.

well i do not know about why is disconnects every 15 min but are you sure it is your router and not your fire wall. I was using zone alarm and that has a problem and at random it closed and port and i had to restart the pc to get the browser to work again. I tried closing the fire wall and it did nothing only when i uninstalled it did the problem go away. As for not logging in on my Belkin router i had the same problem. I never found a fix But i did think it was my ISP blocking it so it may not be your router. Also on the second image you need to enable UPnp mapping i had to have that setting on and it helped. I just can not remember what it did lol. Then go to your ports and for UCP and TCP Type 80 or whatever the lowest is to like 66000 i think that is the highest and that should open all your ports.

There is a site on the net thats called portforward.com that will help you set up you router, just enter the make and model no, and it will tell you what ports to open for what and how, if I can do it, it must be easy

Yeah done that itchy but still not having a great effect.

Out of interest, did you pay for that programme itchy?

i have never paid to use that site baloo .

i've got the thing that you type in a port number and it checks to see if its open, but according to it i don't have any ports open

same baloo, bit weird.

You don't need to pay to use the site with all the information on it that tells you how to do everything for practically every router out there; they just make you pay to use their program which does it all for you.

Reaper, you could perhaps try getting that port-forwarding program on the website Itchy mentioned, or get a torrent of it or something.

That whole router issue you're having seems very weird though, no idea on that!
