Shijui Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Hi, I have forwarded the ports utorrent is using for incoming connections, the uPnP is unchecked. However, when i use the utorrent port checker, the port appears to be blocked. I do not think i have any software firewalls, although my norton 2006 has expired. However, in my old house, when i open ports they appeared open so i do not think norton is affecting it. I am using Linksys wrt300n. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanssen Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Same here. No firewalling, no active scanner on, port open as it should, just the yellow icon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Linksys routers are very specific about their port forwarding requirements.Additionally, just leaving an expired internet security suite installed but not running does NOT remove the blocks it places.

Shijui Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Norton never blocked the ports before so i dont think it will now???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundamjack Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I am having some problems with my µTorrent client because I get a yellow light means that you have no current incoming connections. How do I fixed this problem with my µTorrent client. How do I forward ports to get a green light and download quicker.GundamJack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clever Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 i wouldnt use norton , my suggestion Kaspersky or zonealarmopen your ports from your router"portforward" will show you how.then allow the same ports in your firewall, and utorrentmake sure if you do it for a certain port that you uncheck randomize port each time utorrent startsyou should after all these things are accomplished , , a green circle icon with a checkin the middle at the bottom of utorrent , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 BTJustice, their static IP guide fails for linksys routers in that it gives static IP addresses inside the router's DHCP range (which the router will outright refuse to forward to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
