Okay so my sisters boyfriend constantly runs bittorrents…constantly. We have cable internet, no reason i should pinging at 1200-1900! He does not pay for this internet service and ive informed him his bittorrents are killing our bandwith for the house and the overall internet speed. He says hes leaching off the neighbors…its a lie.
Anyways i really, really need to know how to kill all bittorrent clients. I want to block all of them. So he can’t bittorrent at all. I can’t even get online to do my school work. This is a big problem. Can someone please help me.
Ps. They pick up the internet on our wireless network. I don’t want’ to kill there connection because my sister uses that wireless for her school work. Just want to make it so he can’t run bittorents.
What device is routing the traffic?, you have to configure the device - which by the sound of it He has done?!
Its just the modem that came from our isp provider when we got the internet. This is the main comp that im on and thats what the router is hooked up to. Hes bittorenting off his laptop from our wireless signal.
How would i just block ports 6881-6889 cuz thats what bt’s use.
You need to tell us about the router. Make/Model.
Can you login to it? Do you know how?
Its a westell versaLink Model 327w. I don’t know anything about modem or configuring them. Sorry. You will have to break it down in baby steps for me. Im just frustrated as hell from this guys leeching >< and i don’t want it to escalate if i can just block his ability to bittorent.
Hang on I’ll see if I can find some info. I’ll be back. But for now, FYI: Bittorrent will use whatever ports are set for it in the client and that have been forwarded in the router.
Okay, thanks for the help.
Open your web browser and delete clear the address bar and type
192.168.1.1
when a box appears type use the following
username = admin
password = admin
Here is where I found the info
Port Forwarding for the Westell Versalink 327W
*NB. If login fails HE may have changed the password. If you get in, change the password!!
Remove any portforwarding HE has added
Where is the portfowarding under? And how do i block the ports still? Im in but im lost at the same time.
meh the user name and password dont work ><
Is there another way to stop the bittorents?
You need to do a factory re-set on the router. Usually you have to power off the router find the rest aperture (small hole, needle size, on the rear) Press in a needle or similar and hold then power on, keep like this for a while as the router boots, then let go.
But you should have a manual. And if this is a Verizon supplied router, give them a call.
Obviously HE, has taken control!!! Something IMO YOU need to do.
really, this thread is getting way off base. Refer to the manual, seek help from your ISP explaining that someone has taken control of your router.
Once reset, login and set your own password. (Don’t be surprized if HE doesn’t already know how to re-set it) And the same thing will happen again.
Thanks. I will reset it and block the ports. Hopefully they stay blocked.
