New Computer w/ Vista - Not letting me open a port


Lesley

Recommended Posts

Was wondering what I am doing wrong. I just purchased this computer, installed Utorrent the same way as I did with my other computer XP and now it will not let me open any ports. I read through portforward and still did not help. My router is a SpeedStream 6520. I turned off my firewall, allowed the program. I have Microsoft OneCare.

Please help....

Thank you.

I'm using Vista Ultimate and µTorrent is working flawlessly here, just like it did in XP, with one exception: Opening ports automatically via uPnP doesn't work. But if you configure port forwarding on your router manually, it's all good.

I had OneCare for a while but I threw it out. It has some nifty features and I could live with all the annoying info popups, but when OneCare finished last in two independent antivirus tests I realized that perhaps Microsoft is the last company you should trust with security...
