Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Do you even have an nForce chipset? Are you sure you have no other incompatible software? Did you try uninstalling F-Secure? It's been known to cause problems before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
776rpj Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I'm not sure if i have or not have a nforce chipset,i got a new graphic card becasue my old one was damaged and i dont know the details of the new one.I used the 1.5 version earlier and it worked fine even when i had F-Secure so why shouldn't the 1.6 version work be compatible with F-Secure?

Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Remove the rule for µTorrent and re-add it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
776rpj Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 rule?, do you mean removing in the registry?,or do you mean in F-Secure?,i have "opened" for utorrent in both incoming and outgoing connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 F-Secure. It really would be a lot easier to uninstall to make sure the problem isn't F-Secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
776rpj Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 ok, i'll try that then,but i had no problem with it when using the 1.5 versionMerged double post(s):im not sure how to configure the program in fsecure but i have it as it looks in the picture with everything allowed but with no known connections.http://img388.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fsecureov8.jpgEDIT by silverfire: The edit function exists for a reason. Double posting instead of editing is negligent and unnecessary.EDIT:sorry about the double posting,i have disabled the F-Secure firewall and i'm using the xp firewall instead,i have erased utorrent in xp firewall and added it again.I dont want to uninstall f-secure completely because i have antivirus and anti spyware also within in the program.EDIT:it seems to be working for now,no unusal memory usuage by the utorrent.exe yet.EDIT: it looks like you we're right about f-secure being the bad boy in this situation,it didnt worked anyway with using the xp firewall so i disabled and closed the entire f-secure program and it worked:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Unfortunately, I can't understand anything in that screenshot. As such, my recommendation is that you uninstall F-Secure to make sure it isn't the real culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede20 Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 No need to disable your firewall or the entire program...I mean, yikes! Isn't that a bit dangerous? You need to check this out: http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/supportissue/fsis2006/firewall_q12.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 It is a bit dangerous, but it's not our fault the firewalls people choose to use aren't p2p friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Your router is a much better firewall by default than almost all software firewalls.Once something reaches your computer, even if your firewall blocks it, they can sometimes "break in" via buffer overflows in the software firewall...or just Denial-of-Service attack you.A router is like a moat, a software firewall is like a door. Which is going to do a better job to keep the barbarian hordes out of your castle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 @Swede20: It's only for testing purposes. Anyway, sometimes allowing certain applications in firewalls still doesn't allow the application to work properly. NIS comes to mind when I say this.
