Sky are blocking ports, I have proof!!

[canada16]

My mate came over yesterday, he is a computer wizard, he does our internet at work, makes codes ect.. He knows what he is doing.

He put transmission on my QNap NAS via QPKG and the port is 51413.

When he left the port was fully open green light, and when I came home today I find that my download is going at 1kbs, And tried downloading something that I knew I would get a fast speed. and nothing.. Wouldnt even start, something like 2000 seeds and 500 leech.

I tried port checker and now its saying its closed.

Anyone know of this? I find it funny that it was all open yesterday, I have done nothing and its closed now.

I have a max package ect.. So why are they doing this?

Cheers

Sky dont block any ports

What they do have though is ropey routers that upnpd crashes on
and subsequently them open ports close up
until a reboot of the router

Serious ?

But If I restart my router, wont I lose all my settings?

Should I buy another router? I have the Grey and black netgear one

[Shonk]

why would you loose any settings from a reboot

Nope has not helped, 51413 still blocked, checked everything, and mate on my computer as well with LOGMEIN and still shut, everything the way it should be

My BAD !! Its open now all of a sudden.

I think its time for a new better router.

Cheap one though as I just bought a airport extreme.

Your a star, carp router I say

Good and cheap dont mix

Can you recomend a router that is cheap as...

Really cant afford much, just bought a 140.00 airport extreme

first thing you need to do is find out what type of dslam you are on

do a tracert sky.com

and paste it here

Do you know its taken me months to get a port open for transmssion and it was the upnp.

How often does it re-set ?

I got to thank you so so much, it was driving me crazy
