Without a router, port forwarding is not needed.

What are you trying to accomplish? I know the 0.0.0.0 gateway is unusual but I've seen that before with a few different cellular wireless cards and it seems to work fine.

I know at least with Vuze, the client tells you if you have a NAT issue.

If you don't have a NAT issue, port forwarding isn't going to help.

If you need to increase your speeds, you may try different trackers, making sure you have a good share ratio (if you are leeching, trackers and clients will work together to slow you down if not ban you altogether), and also be sure your ISP isn't the type to throttle down bit torrent traffic.

ok my good friend vuze says that i have a NAT problem cos my download stays yellow all the time.which still bring us back to the issue of increasing download speed thru port fowarding cos when i test the port it is not opened.or maybe i cant port foward with my aircard.i read some thread about static ip,do u think that might work cos my ip keeps changing every time i connect to the internet.if it is so can u help with steps to set up a static ip.i am using windows7 ultimate.thanks a lot u ve been very helpful.u gonna be my best friend if u can help me with this thing

when you type in ipconfig/all on your machine, is the IP 41.205.x.x or is it something like 192.168.x.x, 172.16.x.x, or 10.x.x.x?

spicy · 02-20-2010, 02:40 PM

yes pls when i type in the ipconfig this is what i get
PPP Adapter - 3G Connection
Description - 3G connection
ip address - 41.205.170.88 but the last two numbers are always changing anytime i log on to the internet

subnet mask - 255.255.255.255

default gateway - 0.0.0.0

dns servers - 196.3.61.67
196.3.61.68
this is exactly how it shows.i have tried to open ports thru firewall but no avail.Plz Help.Thanks for your time.

so you are definitely directly onto the provider's network

I believe that unfortunately, any port or NAT issues are out of your hands - the issue lies on their end. You might try to call them to ask about it.

You can't forward ports on a network you don't control.

It sounds like its time for you to find another provider.
