OK. First of all thanks for the detailed explanation. Now few queries,
How do I achieve a fixed IP? Just by sending email to the company? I could be wrong but I think I have a static IP after all already! But I don't know how to make sure of that.
Secondly, how do I forward a port? I mean with which app? I found one called Network Port Forwarding or something but that costs 39.99 USD I think. When I run the Setup guide of uTorrent I see that my port is not open, and the setup never completed successfully. Though a friend of mine has same thing who is on cable broadband too. Image attached, the upload speed you see there is because I input it manually.
And lastly, how do I configure Tixati properly?
PS: Yep, I think my IP is static, it doesn't change after a system reboot.
To begin with, there's no reliable way to determine whether you're using a dynamic or a static IP address. One conventional method of doing so is to first check your current IP address by visiting a website such as What Is My IP Address? IP Address Tools and Mor
Then, disconnect the power to your modem / router. Wait for a minute, then turn it back on. Thereafter, check your IP address again. If it changes, you know that you have a dynamic IP allocation orientation, although it might take several tries of this to detect a static IP orientation. Keep in mind that just because your IP address doesn't refresh once you do the aforementioned, doesn't imply the fact that you have a static IP address. The most reliable way to do this, therefore, is to directly contact your ISP and ask them about it.
As far as port forwarding is concerned, well, I really shouldn't be taking the pain of explaining the entire process here, but I guess I'll try to give you a brief idea:
1. WIN+R -> type in "ipconfig" into the command prompt. Press enter. Make note of the IP address mentioned against "Default Gateway".
2. Open a web browser and type the IP address you just found. This should lead you to your modem/router's configuration panel.
3. Search google for steps on how to setup your computer to use a fixed local IP instead of a dynamic IP assigned by your router. Shouldn't be too hard to do.
4. This is the main part that you need to figure out yourself (tip: use google search for your router's model). You will need to find out where in your router's configuration pages can you can setup ports to be forwarded. Possibly, it might be under a link that reads "Port Forwarding".
5. When you finally find the above mentioned, use the "service name" as your computer's name. Your computer name can be found out by right clicking on the start menu button (Windows 8.1) and choosing "System". The port range should be what range of ports you're forwarding. For example 51000 - 52000 or anything similar. Internal and external ports will be the same. Also, if there's an option to select it, select your IP address as the static local IP that you had setup on your computer, previously. Save all the settings.
6. Once your router restarts, head over to Open Port Check Too and type in a port that you have just forwarded. You should thus be able to find out if its open or not. Otherwise, alternatively, download this: Download Portforward Network Utilities and use their port checker tool (FREE) to check the same.
Hope that helps.
Oh and, as far as Tixati configuration is concerned, that's a bit too detailed for me to explain it, but just try it out and you should be able to figure it out.
