My circle stays red unless I turn off the firewall

So instead of turning off my firewall, I tried to allow each blocked thing, and everything was allowed and set to Low at the same time on the Kaspersky Firewall. And it still wouldn't turn green. Then I turned it off, and it turned green.

The weird thing was that Kaspersky had allowed utorrent and port 16881 perfectly fine. I can't seem to remember what I did differently.

Anyone with Kaspersky Firewall or know anything about it, please help. I tried the FAQ, and every thing is perfect except for the firewall, and I do not want to leave the firewall off.

Create rules for µTorrent in Kaspersky to allow all outbound connections, allow all inbound UDP on the port specified in µTorrent, and all inbound TCP on the specified port in µTorrent.

Ok I made a rule for both UDP and TCP to connect to remote port 16881 and local port range of 1 to 65535 incomming and outgoing.

I still see the Red Circle, and I just allowed everything on the firewall, and the circle turned green again. So it's still definitely the firewall. Here are the ports blocked though if it helps...

139 TCP

138 UDP

137 UDP

135 TCP & UDP

445 TCP & UDP

Applications that are not allowed are...

- Microsoft Windows Media Configuration Utility

- Userinit Logon Application

- NT Kernel & Server

- Generic Host Process for Win32 Services

- Services and Controller App

- Windows NT Logon Application

Everything else is allowed.

[Ultima]

Uh... I never said to use a range from 1 to 65535 for both incoming and outgoing...

[Switeck]

You have it backwards -- only allow the ONE incoming port for µTorrent.

Allow all ports 1000-65535 outgoing.

[RonB]

Ahh I see now. OK I just did what Switech said.

Now in the firewall rules it says...

uTorrent Port 16881 UDP - Allow remote port 16881 for UDP, and local ports range(1050 - 65535)

uTorrent Port 16881 TCP - Allow remote port 16881 for TCP, and local ports range(1050 - 65535)

Though the red circle is still there. Yesterday, it was a green circle. I can't figure this out. I didn't change anything from yesterday to today. Why is it behaving differently? Oh and it was a red circle before I made the recent changes to try to fix it. I also tried changing it back, rebooting, and I got the same error.

Wahhh! Could it possibly be the torrent? Because I did delete 1 torrent that I was getting high speeds on.

[Ultima]

Um... you still have it backwards... remote port is the port you're connecting to, meaning you're only allowing one outgoing, and 64485 incoming ports.

[RonB]

I had it right the first time... After I changed it, I got it backwards. I think before I just worded it wrong or something. OK thanks again. I'll change it back to allowing a remote port of 16881 and a local port of 1050-65535

[Ultima]

No... that's the same thing as what I just said was backwards... and same thing as what you had before, only with 1049 less incoming ports... REMOTE is 1050-65535. LOCAL is 16881.

For those with Kaspersky, here's a pic of the rules you need to create for both TCP and UDP ports ( of course, your local port # may be different depending on what you choose ) :

hello, ihave Kaspersky IS 6 for 2 days now, since Panda IS wasnt able to delete a virus. it seems im not able to configure my ports right, alllthough i edit the settings to the ones shown in the pictures. im mean im still getting a decent speed, but the circle stays red. hadnt had any problem with panda.

so if my port, which i choose in the settings is 57736. thats my lokal port then, or did i get it wrong.

i also have a router ,but there i allowed the connections on that port for my IP.

any help?
