i know how to set it up... but it seems like it only works temporarily. lets say a day or two. I use utorrent, and its NOT on random ports. i have it set for one port always. Even though i look at my router and it has a certain port open, I do a speed test/ port checker thing thats on it and it seems like I have to constantly re enter the same information over and over even if its already there. I have to add the same service over again with a new name... its quite annoying.
[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"]Whenever I'm done, I close the port... and then reopen it when I need to. I've never needed to remove or recreate the service.H8sMikeMoore
how do i close it/open? and would it matter that i enable it and never do anything with it after that?
Under Firewall Rules, you can enable/ disable it. I'm not sure about whether it matters of not. I just assumed that leaving a port open wasn't a great idea.
well i apparently got it to work this time, i just entered in the ip address it already had and changed the profile... i dont understand why it wouldnt be on the default one because i told it to. but my router is a shady westell so i dont know. my other westell router did a similar thing just not as frequent.
