Check out the link below for a bit of info about how to log into your modem & also there's some info about HughesNet/Direcway fair access policy...possibly why your downloads are so slow! http://www.copperhead.cc/DW7000.htm
Have a look through this thread too, maybe try changing ports & deleting the preferences folder as LOTR suggests http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ight=satellite
This is all the info I could find about port forwarding for that modem, not sure how much help it's going to be  http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-10610
If you use the forum search to look for HughesNet, Direcway or satellite you might find some help in older threads as well. |
Thanks Birdy. I had my firewall configured for LW but just turned it off to minimize any interference and for simplicity. I have realized that is not the problem anyways. I had used LW with DirecWay without any problems, but apparently, as suggested from the first thread you had me look at, DirecWay decided to be assholes and configure their service to block or disable use of
P2P's. Now with the use of any p2p, my uPnP can not be mapped. And according to the last forum you showed me, the only way you can possibly foward ports with DW7000 is with a router, which I do not have nor would I have any use for other than to foward any ports. So I guess until I can get something other than HughesNet around here I'm stuck. I hate anything related to HughesNet or Direcway and would never recommend them to ANYBODY! Thank you for all of your help!!
