I have a Scientific Atlanta DPC2100R2 cable modem.
I understand it is not a router and a Broadband cable modem and port forwarding is not necessary.
My ISP is Hathway.
I  wish to optimize settings for my uTorrent 1.8.1
I have Windows Vista Home Premium.
Please help me. The uTorrent client shows that there are no incoming connections in the status bar. Previously it was not so...
I did not know where to post this.....
Sorry.... Please help me.....

#1 Is there a device between this Scientific Atlanta DPC2100R2 and your computer?

#2 If so to question number one above, what is that device?

#3 It sounds like, you were able to host in the past. Are you using the same ISP as last time?

#4 What is the current software firewall on your computer?

#5 Find the IP address and default gateway on your computer.

With Windows, that means..

Go to Start -> Run.

Type in cmd and press enter.

In the new window, called the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and press enter.

#6 Compare the IP address that you found (not the default gateway) to the external IP as shown at

Does they match or are they different?
