How to port properly?

[cutiepie]

Hi guys,

I'm fairly new to this game. Please spare me!

I can't seem to get my program to connect to the trackers. I hear that is because I am not porting it correctly? How do I go about doing that?

Thank you so much! Ive tried searching but to no help!

Which proggy are you referring to cutiepie??....er....that's not a pun either, eh??

I mean, I guess it could be, but since it's your username, .....I'll just stick with what I"ve texted.

Also, welcome to SBI.

go here and choose your router model and the bittorrent program you want to forward:

PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall
(site has pictures)

to search for a model, click CTRL+F

EDIT - removed portforward link/info posted by cheatos- TY

If you still are having problems, then .....
What bittorrent program are you using ? Do you have a router ? firewall ?

I thought he wanted info on how to port applications to other platforms, maybe some windows tools to MAC or linux

And adding to what others said:

If you are directly connected to internet, i.e. no router/switch/node, then port forwarding won't yeld anything.

Check your programs errors or logs, if you read anything like "forbidden - port xxxx is blacklisted", it's because that given tracker blacklisted a common port (usually 6881), changing that to anything higher than 40000 to 65000 should be fine.

When I saw this on the new posts list I thought it read "how to post properly" lol

cutiepie, it'd help if you posted which BitTorrent client you're using, and any error message you may be getting.

They're the port forwarding resource.

They also offer an app that can automatically forward your ports with your router login data, but it's shareware.

ok, ok,....don't be sorry anonftw.

At least I gave you a chuckle or 2, yes??

Initially, I thought that she wanted info on a type of proggy, such as RF and wanted to know what listening port it was supposed to be on while it would be in use.

I guess I just had a 'blond moment' that some women have at times, yes??

Oh, well. Enjoy your day nevertheless.
