ok, some components in my home network equipment quit working so everything got replaced. Bought a Motorola SBG6580 (docsis 3.0 etc) that now does it all and now for the life of me I cannot get un-firewalled on my torrent sites (Dime, TTD). Everything was working fine before the cable modem replacement and was not firewalled on any of the bt sites I go to. So no changes to the pc, have gone to port-forwarding.net and followed the instructions to forward the ports in the SBG6580 uTorrent is using, but still no dice. Being an IT guy, I do know my way around the pc and have done this many times, for myself and helping others, but this one has me stumped.
Anyone else have the same cable modem and don't mind comparing settings from your web admin page? I'm thinking it's either something I am missing in the admin/config web page for the cable modem, or somehow some Windows Firewall settings got changed.
I know anti virus software could conflict with allowing/disallowing access to ports etc, but the only Firewall I am using is Windows. Even have the FW turned off on the modem. And the only AV software installed at the moment is Windows Defender (so my OS is W7)
What ever info I'm leaving out, please post asking for more info if you could. I have gone to the uTorrent forums and looked at a few "firewalled" related threads I could find, did the same over on the motorola support site but still striking out.
Anyone ??
