Verizon DSL and uTorrent port forwarding

[mattf2686]

Hey, I was browsing google for solutions to this stupid routers inability to port forward for uTorrent and i came across a discussion with keroffs and a guy buy the name of Spunked...

Im wondering if there was ever a solution to getting uTorrent to work .... i have Verizon DSL with the 7500 Modem/Router and 3.2 MBPS service, and i have been struggling to see barely anything over 50-100 kbps. I feel like ive tried everything but im getting no results at all.


Id appreciate any tips you have for me.

Thanks,
Matt

Did you take a look at the user guide that Verizon has for that:
http://www22.verizon.com/Residential...ser+Guides.htm

To get to the 7500's options you need to enter http://192.168.1.1 in your browser address.
You should then see a sign-in page and the default user name is "admin" and the default password is "password" (both without quotes).
Then press the option for "Firewall Settings" and on its sub-screen, choose "Port Forwarding".

Then you need to create a new rule allowing the port you are using in uTorrent for both TCP and UDP, both in and out.

I do not know if you saw the uTorrent speed guide, but it has some info and screen shots of uTorrent that should help:

Ill take a look at that guide in a couple of hours... Ive tried putting port # 35200 in the 3 spaces in the port forwarding section... and put it in as both UDP and TCP.

But where i get confused is that it doesnt allow for me to put it as both in and out. You can only choose one or the other.

Ill be back in a few hours to try it.

Thanks keroffs

But where i get confused is that it doesnt allow for me to put it as both in and out. You can only choose one or the other.

Apparently you have to make two rules, one for in and one for out.

The info on port forwarding in the manual starts on page 109.

Good Luck
