I have been trying to setup my belkin router corectly so I can download torrents, I need to setup a port for the data to transfer through.

If I go to Application gateway on my router settings I get 2 fields to fill in

trigger port and public port.

When I setup my Downloader (azureus) for which port it should see and I enter the number , for example 13000 and then test it I get a failed message.

How exactly do I fill in the 2 fields in my application settings ?

Hopefully someone knows exactly what i mean as I'm clueless with this and its doing my head right in lol

Cant you just enable upnp? If its a new router it should support it. Port forwarding can be a pain in the bottom. Speak to belkin tech on monday.


Just to cheer you up, belkin is the worse gear I have ever configured. Buy something better if you really struggle.

Good luck.

JonnyBravo

lol great advice there mate

No flocking way I'm changing the router, I just brought 2 new monitors and a new pc

I'll ring the tech helpline

cheers anyway

T38Mat

the advice was to try enabling upnp and not to buy pooh routers!

Danielle

omg it took my dad and his mate ages to set ours up, and they r like pc experts!!!!!!!!!! and now im having problems with it on my laptop!

Jonzy

What model router is it? Dont bother with belkin tech support, theyre a bunch of idiots.

I had a Google around and came up with this Jonny...

They list quite a few Belkin routers there, I'm sure yours will be in that list somewhere.

Cheers Andy

Still have no clue whatsoever how to sort this

That site doesn't list the exact router I have but its close

mine is F5D7632uk4

Anyone else have an idea what the hell I need to do to make this work

andyhardy

I'm pretty sure this is close enough?

Sounds like the model number of your router is just denoting that it's the UK version?

Looks like it's the right one!

Cheers,

JonnyBravo

ok thats quite good,

atleast I could get my head round all that but on Azureus I'm still finding that in the que position it says last ?

That doesn't seem right ?

Should I reboot maybe ?

andyhardy

Queue position? Try right clicking and the torrent and selecting 'Force start'

It'll probably come up with the status as a yellow face until you set your MAC settings, but I haven't bothered and get very good speeds with it on the little yellow man

Could you Alt + Print Screen us a screengrab of the error message you're getting?

Cheers,

Andy

JonnyBravo

The alt and print screen thing isn't working

something must now be working as Nortons just blocked a supposed intrusion attempt ?

it gives me the source Ip address and destination ip address

does norton need switching off or has someone now got access to my pc ?

andyhardy

Ahh, you'll have to add the 'port' you've opened up as a friendly port or whatever Norton calls it. Its not being attacked, just your Azureus software is now trying to access it and Norton is saying 'nah, sorry pal'

Cheers,

Andy

JonnyBravo

ok i clicked on allow this on norton

If I run a NAT/ Firewall test on Azureus then it fails just says NAT error ?

so something still isn't working right grrrr

andyhardy

Mine comes up with this error as well - it's to do with setting up MAC addresses, it still works as it should when downloading torrents.

Time to try it out on those links I sent you I think!

Cheers,

Andy

JonnyBravo

yeh I've tried those links and it doesn't work lol

Cheers anyway mate,

I owe you a beer for being so patient

MikeyXR2i

I had the same model as your one
F5D7632uk4, never had no problem setting it up and my Azerues worked great. Didn't need to put anything in the fields either.

JonnyBravo
