where will I find my NAT router configurations?

Question

my bit torrent is telling me I need to refigure my NAT configurations,and that my listenning port is unreachable - help this is double dutch to me!!!!

Answer 1

Right, I know this. I used to have trouble with my router too. I`m using Utorrent but this should help you out. As you have not put down what equipment you`re using I`m going to give you this link. It has instructions on how to forward a port on loads of routers. Just click on the one you`ve got and follow the instructions. You have to setup for a static IP so do it carefully. Heres the link :

Scroll down the page until you find yours and way to go.



Good Luck.

Answer 2

Nat Router Configuration

Answer 3

First, let me start out by stating I have never used BitTorrent, and I know nothing about it. But from your question and the error messages you are getting, it sounds like you just need to open a port on your firewall, probably the port range the last guy just gave you.



"But" it might also mean this.



Many applications on the internet will not work behind a "PAT" configured host. PAT (Port Address Translation) allows many hosts to NAT behind one IP address. It does this by changing the TCP Port number from the standard port for the application, to some other port number. For example, if Bit Torrent used TCP port 6001, your PAT configuration would use on the back end, a TCP port number of 9333, or some other number other than 6001.



Because this occurs on the back end only, its normally not an issue. But some applications use TCP header data for session state or setup functions, and the varying port numbers can cause problems with the application, and block session setup altogether. IF thats the case, then you'll need to have a one to one NAT configuration on your router, which depending on your router, may require an additional IP address.



I realize that may sound like Greek to you, so try this.



One way to find out is to simply plug your computer directly into your cable modem or DSL connection and bypass your router. See if the application works without your router in the middle. If so, then its probably the NAT\PAT issue I described above.

You are going to have to locate the default ip address of that router. It might be something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.245, but you will have to check the routers manual to be sure. Once you have the ip address, simply enter it into the address field of any browser (where you would normally put the web site address). The nat router interface will open and ask for a user name and password. Once again, you need to get these default values from you router manual. Once in your router you will see a variety of tabs or menues allowing you to change whatever your want.

once inside your router configuration, make sure that UPnP is enabled..this does port forwarding automatically for you..but routers are famous for not being very good at this, so somewhere in your settings should be an option for the "DMZ" or "demilitarised zone"..if you allow the IP address for your pc to be used in this option, it will have full un-port-restricted access to the Internet..also disable your routers own firewall as it might be the cause of your problem too..but make sure you have a personal firewall installed on ur comp and that your torrent client has full access...and oh yeah,turn off the crap that is Windows own firewall if ur running XP,its basic,gives absolutely no protection unless u manually configure IP filtering in the advanced connection settings, and I dont know anyone who trusts that and would go to all that bother for each and every program they use...zone alarm free edition works great as a personal firewall, is auto-updateable+can be configured manually+automatically with a few clicks.

Answer 6

You can access your NAT configurations in your router's interface. You can access it via web browser. Try typing one of the following sets of addresses bellow in your browser's address box and then click enter. Your interface should pop up on the screen. Once inside you need to make sure you have a wide range of ports open. Ports 6000-7000 should be adequate for bit torrents.



Addresses:

192.168.0.0

192.168.0.1

192.168.1.1
