New Logic Board in iMac. == Bittorrent no worky [More:]
So I got a new logic board put into my iMac G5. Nothing else has changed (no firewall settings, etc.)). Now all torrents tell me: "Could not open a listening port! Check your port range settings."

What the hell does that mean?
It means that since your computer now has a new network card (on the motherboard) your router assigned it a new IP address, and your router is configured to 'forward' the ports bittorrent uses to the old address.

What you gotta do is find out what your current IP address is, then configure your router to forward the bittorrent ports to that address.

I'm not sure how to get the IP address on a mac, but to configure the router, you can probably use your web browser, http://192.168.0.1 might work.

To put it another way, basically you need to jack in to the sub node and upload the encryption packet to the extra-net, then you can hack the firewall and ice the modem which will allow you to access the terminal directly.

Thanks, Capn! That worked!

Easy, just flip on the neural net subcommand routine: Access the NAND Compensator dongle in the settings profile menu (control click the F3 button on keyboard window). Adjust your ram bus overclock setting to 0.35µ, and you're ready to go.

But if you get any "Cannot Divide by Zero" error messages, be sure to press "OK" and not "Cancel", otherwise you'll have to reboot.

Cap'n's method of getting your IP is soooo much more elegantly geeky than checking the Apple System Profiler. I'm determined to never do it the easy way again.

I gap my ram bus with a matchbook cover, eatitlive. It's good enough for who it's for.


**like** Mecha tech support!! :D
