LOL... you're understanding it wrongly. The 'dynamic IP' you're referring to is the WAN (Wide area network) IP - otherwise known as IP given by our internet provider, Streamyx. It usually starts with 60.xxx.xxx.xxx or 218.xxx.xxx.xxx (maybe there are other ranges, but I never get them)

The IP you're using to port forward is your LAN (local area network) IP. Otherwise known as the address given by your local router or your PC's individual address. You can set this IP to be static.

Don't confuse ya?

holy crap. You know what, I used the WAN IP during port forwarding.

now my BitComet is blocked again. What should I do? I'm not really good with networking setup.

Am using Aztech DSL600EW wireless router. This PC is connected to the router via the Ethernet cable. I have a laptop as well and I do connected to the internet via wireless connection from this router. How do I setup the 'static IP' ?

thanks guys.

Added on July 20, 2008, 2:16 pmgah! this is weird. I did obtained a static IP address and redo port forwarding but it still blocked.

should I restart the router after port-forwarding?

how to set firefox 3 download flv videos (ex. youtube) via bitcomet? using the right click button..

you can test the port forward at this url: http://www.whatsmyip.org/ports/ (under custom port)

if the test result is positive, then what you can try is restart your bitcomet or restart the modem to refresh the connection, or just try a few rounds of checking the IP

btw, how's the speed of download? some people can still get good speed although it's showing yellow

if I'm not mistaken DSL600EW is 3-in-1 device with modem/wired router/wireless router built in right? if so, it is easier to configure and port forward than a separate modem and router set up

perhaps you can let us know what is your current LAN IP and Gateway IP. You can get this by Start > Run > type in "cmd" without the quotes > type in "ipconfig/all" without the quotes

by default, the Gateway IP should be "192.168.1.1" and your LAN IP should be Automatic if you haven't set it manually

Port forwarding is not easy as it sounds; you need to know/set your Gateway IP, LAN IP and allow the ports in your router, Firewall and application (ie Bitcomet). Only then you can get full speed/green light in Bitcomet

Tested the port at the website given and the result was 'Port 17320 Timed-Out'.

Checked the IP via 'ipconfig /all' and the IP address is just the same as what I have done yesterday for the static IP address. No changes. I used 192.168.1.10 and both the one in Network Connections and Command window shows the same IP address.


Btw, I think I have another problem. I was trying to see if I did the port forward correctly (if the port number I entered in Port Forward is the same as what BitComet is using). So, opened up new window and keyed 192.168.1.1 to load the modem page. Nothing fancy here, the page loads as usual. Then, I clicked on 'Advance' to access the advance settings. No drama as well, the 'Advance' page loads perfectly. But, the drama starts when I clicked on Port Forwarding. It says that I need to insert LAN IP address in order to do that.

Something like this:

[attachmentid=534890]



What should I do? Is this normal after you setup static IP address?

The modem/router model is Aztech DSL600EW.

Added on July 21, 2008, 6:46 amyes, you are correct! Its a 3-in-1 modem/router.

LAN IP address : 192.168.1.10
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1

I have already set the IP address manually yesterday.

The port Bitcomet listen to [17320 TDP, 17320 UCP] are already exempted by Windows Firewall. And already did the port forwarding via the router yesterday.

Currently doing 2 tasks simultaneously but only 1 task that is downloading because the other task has only 800 seeds while 8000 leechers so it's physically not moving. The max download speed I can get just now is 32kB/s for 512kbps line I'm using and with yellow light.

I haven't port forward on 600EW before, but here's the full instruction to do it : http://www.portforward.com/english/routers...EW/BitComet.htm

Hope it helps!

I followed everything shown previously.

And now, I cant do port forwarding anymore because whenever I tried to click on Port Forwarding in the modem setup page, it'll ask me to enter LAN IP address (refer my previous post). What the hell is that?

now.. what should I do? It's still blocked.



The thing is, last nite I port forward using my WAN IP address as my Static IP address during the Port Forward. After port forwarding, no more blocked and its green light. Any reason why?

maybe u missed out a step. trace back the steps

YES! finally! after I chose to use another listen port and re-port forwarding, the green light shows!

its complicated.

but its worth it.


thanks for those who have helped, though not that much. Hahha..

Im afraid that after restarting this PC tomorrow, the problem arises.

about the LAN IP address, you just key in any IP within the range, for your case, it's from 192.168.1.2 until 192.168.1.254 (or you can even enter your static IP), after that it wont bothers you again.

you can manually assign it under LAN section as well.

forward to your WAN IP will only works when you are still using that IP. Unlike LAN IP which always works no matter what WAN IP you get.

sorry for asking noob question,
where is da port-fowarding setting located??
been searching around bit comet setting couldn't find it.....

btw,i experienced only 50kb max speed in downloading..
average 30-50kb.....
how to increased da speed??

Try look at the 2nd post of this thread, thanks...

If still got any question, then only ask...

yea....actually tried referred that b4.....
still da same speed i get....
anyway, now i'm trying port forward application....
thanks for da info

Last time I applied IP Patch for XP from Bit Comet help forum my system hung I needed to Reinstall

The port forward is to be done at your modem/router. What is your modem/router's brand or model?
Or may be you can try find it here http://www.portforward.com/english/routers...routerindex.htm yourself?


for the TCP/IP patch, can try out this one (for XP SP2, not yet tested on SP3)

btw.. wanna ask.. what are you guys btcomet lvl? score n title

Hi guys, just want to ask - Bitcomet's Scheduler doesn't work at all, right? I know that Utorrent's Scheduler works but BitComet's doesn't.

Perhaps there is a way to 'make' it work?

What version you using??
I have tried the Scheduler and it work on my machine.
