help! i dont wanna be red :(

I'm red.

its not my firewall, that I fixed, its my router, and I can't get into my router

my username and password isn't the default ones thatg I was referred to, and I never changed them, what do I do?

Usually there is a reset button on the router that will reset the username/password (I believe). Can you post the make/model of your router and we can look into it for you.

sorry, my internet went down for the past day or so

I reset it and I can gbegt into the router and all, but I'm still red

any ideas?

I'm on a linksys WRT54G

I'm gonna have another try at it

any tips though?

I tried forwarding the ports and I'm still red, and I forwarded my ports and disabled the firewall....any help?

any other links to a site that can help me forward my ports? to make sure I did it correctly?

Have you gone here to see if you really are firewalled (or are you showing up in red brackets on the torrents)?

I'm showing up in red brackets in torrent threads

for example OPN's TAB 9-8-04 thread, I'm in red there

how do I get the hash id I need to run that program?

nvm I got it

I'm runnin that prog now

this is what I got when I ran that link u posted

Attempting connect to: 71.248.30.19 port 6881
Fail!
Unable to connect. This likely means you need to adjust your port forwarding configuration, or there is no client running on that port.

OK, what OS are you running? And, do you have any sort of firewall programs on your computer? And, do you have a router or modem? And, if so, what brand and model number?

I'm on win XP, and there's not firewall software that I installed, unless it came on the computer, which I disabled the "windows firewall"

I'm on a linksys WRT54G router

Here's a link that should help you forward your ports: http://www.portforward.com/linksys/wrt54g.htm If the images don't look exactly like yours, you probably have a slightly different model, so go here (on the bottom of the page) to look at the other models: http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm

thats the link I used before, and I followed the instructions to the T, and I'm stil in red

Did you make sure to set up a static IP and not a dynamic one? That's a mistake many people make.

i set up a static ip per that page's instructions

could you tell me the difference in hwo u set them up? mayeb i did something on accident
