domyue Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I've got Comodo Pro Firewall and uTorrent and Avast! antivirus running together.1) I've given full access to uttorrent in comodo (incl. moving the entry above the blocking entry, opening ports, etc..)2) I've disabled the P2P Shield in Avast!3) I'm running v1.6.1 with NO peerguardian etcI've still got bad speeds and my port is reported as NOT OPEN. I've been using torrents for a while now so i know how to open ports and allow a program through. I've even SHUT DOWN my Firewall and AntiVirus for a few seconds to see if the port is detected as open...but STILL "closed" after being completely open and vulnerable.You guys have any ideas on how to detect what's blocking my utorrent incomings??Thanks v much!DoM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Do you have a router?Does your modem contain a mini-router or firewall that also needs to be configured or disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domyue Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 i have a netgear router but i've set it to let everything go through.Incidentally, I've only had this problem relatively recently, i remember it working fine a while ago (maybe a few months ago...)I've not used majorly different programs either. Also, I've uninstalled uTorrent and tried Azureus - same problem. So I switched back =/Does anyone know of a way to find out what's blocking a program going through??Thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Did you specifically port forward µTorrent's incoming listening port from your netgear router to your computer's LAN ip? (probably something like 192.168.0.101) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domyue Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 OH GUYS, I've fixed itIt's nothing to do with Comodo, its Netgear's settings. To make it clear, everything I did was fine - I opened up all ports on the firewall, but apparently "allow all" wasn't good enough for my netgear DG834You have to create ANOTHER entry to let the uTorrent port through EVEN IF you've made a setting that "Allow ALL" incoming to your LAN IP.** Do you think its a hardware/firmware issue on Netgear's side ???? ** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Not really, it's just bad manuals about what you have to do to totally unfirewall a port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domyue Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Well i didnt read any manual. Most people with netgear were apparently ok with "allow all", but apparently not my router... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
