PORT Forwarding Problem?

[justinlu]

My old router was dead yesterday. So I upgrade to 3700.
And I use Netgear NV+ for downloading. before today, all good.

since i changed the router, the transmission shows "Announce error: Could not connect to tracker" for all torrents.
I tried to disable the firewall, port forward, DMZ, not working. I tested, seems the port never opened?

Can anyone help?

upnp may not open the ports when app requested.

try open the port with port forwarding and disable upnp and see

thanks. i already turned UPNP off. and seems still no working.
i open the port 51413(which used by transmission) towards to 192.168.0.122 which is IP of my netgear NV+(I set it static). then apply. is that right? don't need to restart or sth else?

turned off UPNP, even set DMZ. no luck anyway.

BTW, any way to check if the port open or not? now, i just using the web tools, like http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/. and fill 192.168.0.122 in?

anyway, i still cannot connect the torrent serve.

use you use public IP. how 192 will reach router when 192 is not public non-routable ip

i guess you mean use public ip when checking port open or not? sorry, it's my mistake, i used the public.

always use public IP of any from external.

that is what port forwarding are design to do.

thin as call forwarding... same thing

sorry, i really confused. i remember i port forwarding towards to my 192.168.xxx.xxx IP address and that works fine.
and you suggest me using the public ip? anyway, when i get back home, i will give it a try.

192 are for LAN ONLY so you will ONLY use while you are BEDHIND the DGND

when you are OUTSIDE you ONLY use public IP to reach ANY device behind the DGND..


if you port 9000 forwarded the it should reach 192.(buffalo) from outside

you probably need to talky to buffalo why you are getting wrong interface
