andker333 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I have a red stop circle at the bottom of my utorrent broswer. It tells me I need to close firewalls, deal with routers. I have turned off microsoft firewall and Norton firewall and gone through the Port Forward steps to open a port - the red message is still there. Anyone have any ideas?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 If you are using Norton Internet Security (before 2006) read this: http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php and search for "Norton Internet Security 2006" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quelper Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yeah I have issues too.WinXP Pro Zone AlarmCable modemI can download and upload files, but I can't seem to get rid of that yellow icon. Port forwarding, firewall disabling yuck! None of the suggested fixes help me either. I suspect that the Comcast Motorola cable modem may be MY issue.

koberulz Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yeah, I have the same issue. Pain in the ass, as I'm trying to distribute some of my videos through a torrent. Naturally, it won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 If you tried the instructions ( "The latest version of Norton Internet Security 2006 and Norton AntiVirus 2006 SHOULD fix this issue." ) try uninstalling the software. You can always reinstall if the problem stays the same but if the problem disappears with the firewall uninstalled its the culprit for sure.

koberulz Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I don't have any firewall other than the default XP one, which is turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry6521 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 My problem is the little icon down the bottom is green but if i try a port test in utorrent it still keeps coming back page not found Ah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koberulz Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 That's a completely different issue. Make your own thread for that.I have a yellow triangular symbol, trackers are listing me as not connectible, and my initial seedings won't work.I've disabled the windows xp firewall, which was the only one active, and gone through all the static IP and port forwarding stuff.It was working a few weeks ago, and then suddenly stopped.What do I do now?

Lord Alderaan Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Does the 'port test' say your port is not opened too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatiairbatu Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 yeah,me too..I've try so many time but it wont work...it just keep saying my port not open......man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Are you sure you did the port map correctly? You set your computer IP to a static local IP and you mapped the right port on the router to the that internal IP?Its either the router or a software firewall. If it isn't the router and it isn't the windows XP firewall there is a other firewall present on your system. Can you try it on another computer/laptop on your network?

koberulz Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 There is definitely no other firewall. Yes, I've done the ports correctly. I had it working, and once it stopped, I tried several times with different ports, going through the instructions step by step on each occasion.

Lord Alderaan Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Hmmz. Maybe you ISP is blocking something. Can you try a totally different port (and change the port map accordingly)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry6521 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Hi I know of a program that sorts out port forwarding which i am told is helpful for utorrents if any one wants it i will find the link for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry6521 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 PFConfig Version 1.0.144 serch google hope it works for you B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry6521 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I found some info on it for you to have a look at "Automatically forward your ports with PFConfig. If you are trying to run an application that requires ports to be forwarded, you can skip the work and just use PFConfig. With PFConfig, you don't have to learn how to setup your router. It's so easy to use, you just pick the program from a list and say 'Update Router'.Automatically Forwards Ports When you want to run an application that requires a port to be forwarded, with PFConfig all you have to do is select that application from the list and choose "Forward this App". If you want to forward different apps to different computers, you simply put the other computers address in and we take care of the rest. Optimized Use of Ports When you use PFConfig, our advanced optimization routines will actually combine multiple applications into less entries in your router. You can frequently forward more applications than your router would otherwise support. Huge Increases in Security When you use PFConfig, it is incredibly easy to forward ports as you need them, and turn them off when you do not. Turning off your forwarded ports when not in use is a huge increase in security. Never Login to your Router Again With PFConfig, you do not have to log in to your router to add and remove forwarded ports. Simply tell PFConfig which ports to forward and where to forward them, and the rest is taken care of for you. You can pretty much forget your routers password. Ideal for use with applications such as utorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzzieqs Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 hey all having the same problem......something I noticed lately is that alot of peeps having the same problem as me......utorrent was working just great until a few days ago. I've always had really great speeds until the other day......I upgraded my utorrent to the new one finially. now I have the dreaded red icon and speeds so slow a snail is faster. I've reforwarded all my ports and done just about everything else I can think of. no anti-virius installed at all and checked and rechecked firewall and now running puter with it off. Still same problem. I'm at my wits end. I'm not impling anything because I truely love utorrent, but my problems didn't start until I upgraded it and if I could I would just downgrade but can't find an older version anywhere. Man this really bites the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
