No matter what - port not opening!

Post by Luxman78 »

Hallo, everyone and Happy New Year!
I guess it would be fair to post this under 'generic'.

I need your help, please! I wouldn't come here to bother you if I did not try three dozen tutorials on how to do what I need to do.

No matter how many times I try to set up a static IP and forward a port, nothing works. I will gladly provide any info you need.

In short, I had much trouble setting up a static and I'm guessing this had to do with the fact I'm using win10 Home.

I hope I cracked this first problem since I finally turned off DHCP and I'm still connected to the Internet. Yes, I did enter all the data in IPv4 properties.

I looked for some guidance on how to use qbittorrent and how to set it up to use a forwarded port and then I entered all those info into my modem.

Still, it's closed, closed, closed.

I obviously forgot to check something, but I've reached my wits end. Please tell me what I'm missing.

- Set a static IP on your PC (you did this, I think) *
- Set up a port forward on the router to this IP
- In qBittorrent's settings, set the same port

That's about it.
