I have an Acer laptop with an Intel 3945 wireless card, and a brand new router (Netgear WNDR3300) with the latest v1.0.26 firmware. UPnP is enabled in the router and works for my roommates (though in losedows) - the web interface of the router properly lists their forwarded ports - but ktorrent disagrees. I'm running Kubuntu 8.04. I do, of course, have the UPnP plugin enabled. :>

Code: Select all

$ apt-cache policy ktorrent
ktorrent:
  Installed: 2.2.5-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.2.5-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.2.5-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I installed the gupnp-tools package, with which came an application called GUPnP Universal Control Panel. In it I can browse the available UPnP providers; in this case, the router. It does show up properly, but ktorrent still disagrees. There are a bunch of curious stuff there that I can't even begin to make sense of, which is hopefully irrelevant, yet likewise hopefully goes to show there's some UPnP-y communication going on. urn:wifialliance-org:serviceId:WFAWLANConfig1? http://192.168.0.1:51855/WFAWLANConfig/event? Stuff like that.

I searched these forums and saw someone mentioning putting the router ip into ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/routers, but that didn't seem to have any effect. Moreover, the file gets overwritten (and wiped) at some point, perhaps when it scans for available UPnP services.

What can I do to troubleshoot this?
edit: Or should I just abandon it and go for the v3.x.x versions? I'm hesitant to install non-packaged applications, though.


Many thanks in advance.

Run ktupnptest, and post it's output here.

Is that good, or bad? Terminal output is identical.

Let it run for a couple of minutes, normally you should get some more output if your router is functioning properly
