No matter what - port not opening!
Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2022 6:00 pm
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.
