KittenKong Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 My guess is that UPnP is throwing it off. Try selecting the "I have no router" option in the first screen. Have you tried the automatic option in the same screen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 As KittenKong wrote, you've selected Active Mode (let DC++ configure my router with NAT - PMP / UPnP) and then hard-configured your Router, this creates a conflict as UPnP service attempts to session program your router and the router already has those ports reserved. So please try Active Mode (I have no router / I have configured my router) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localexpat Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hello Thanks for your suggestion I have tried to change to active mode, same effect see screenshot attached I am sure I am doing some fundamently wrong, maybe with the portforwarding of my router any suggestions appreciated thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Did you try the automatic mode as I suggested? Try deleting the port forwards in the router and then try automatic mode again. UPnP often works well when left to its own devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 The IP address you have entered in the External / WAN IP is a private block address, normally used behind NAT devices and Carrier Grade NAT gateways. Please power cycle (off/on) your DSL Router and allow the network to re-establish. Does your D-link DSL2730U still report your External / WAN IP address being within the 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 private block? If so, then your Internet connection is operating behind a 'double NAT', no port forwards will be possible. As KittenKong suggested, try ticking the box for [_] Let DC++ determine the best connection setting See what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
