Ironman273 Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I have a wireless Belkin router with 2 computers connected (wired) to it. While I was away on a trip, my wife commented that the internet was not working. When I got back, the internet was fine. however, when I connected to eMule and Azureus, I got a low ID on eMule and a yellow icon in Azureus (which on both cases means the network can't talk back to the computer). I never had this problem before since I had opened up the appropriate ports on my router. Also, my internet lately has been going on and off seemingly at random. I reset the router to default settings and reopened the ports and still have the same problem. I then got rid of the router and connected straight to my computer and am still getting lowID. What could be blocking these ports on my computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigaroo Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Your ISP. Try re-routing the ports to something non-congested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman273 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Your ISP.Try re-routing the ports to something non-congested. Well, my ISP is actually a couple of guys that I know. I have wireless internet that's microwave from an antenna on the roof of my house to a line-of-sight central antenna nearby. They're actually pretty cool guys and I asked them if they started blocking ports. They told me they don't block anything and the rapport I have with them makes me believe him. But just to check, what ports do you suggest I change eMule or Azureus to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 What kind of speed on your connection do you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 are ports 6881 through 6889 open on the router or firewall? probably the best site for bittorent tweaking but seems to be down... google cache: http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:yjhkR...ittorrent&hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of weeks ago, I had no problems with anything. Green icons all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEvan Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Maybe your friends ISP started blocking ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman273 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Maybe your friends ISP started blocking ports? No, I called them and they assured me they're not blocking any ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lechio Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 try to put a computer on the DMZ (no firewall from the router, all connections from the internet are allowed to/from that IP (DANGER zone) ) to see if they aren't really blocking ports ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
