I have fiber optic internet connected to my Google Mesh. My PC is directed by ethernet cable to it. I am able to download torrents fine, but no peers are able to connect to my PC. I'm attempting to use port forwarding to fix the problem. uTorrent tells me the port number that is used for incoming connections, but when I add a Rule under Port Management for that connection, I am still unable to get an open connection. Need advice, thanks.
You shouldn't need to open any ports explicitly as long as UPnP is enabled in both the uTorrent client and your Google/Nest WiFi system (at least I didn't need to the last time I downloaded an Ubuntu image). If you have it enabled in both places, I suspect you may have another layer of NAT firewall outside your Google/Nest WiFi system, though. In that case, a port mapping through both layers of NAT would be best.
I just wanted to jump in real fast to see if you saw MichaelP's reply and to see if you still needed some help on this or if you were able to get it sorted out. If you are still needing some help, just let us know and we'll be happy to continue helping.
Hi, everyone. Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know. Thanks, - Jeff
