Switeck Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Sadly, you do not have a 10 megabits/sec upload speed...so you'll need to use MUCH lower settings in Speed Guide (CTRL+G) -- probably even below 1 megabit/sec upload speed. Trying to upload too fast can cause random peer/seed disconnections and very laggy web surfing.Is Win XP SP2's firewall configured correctly?

Switeck Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Does your modem contain a mini-router and/or firewall that needs to be configured or disabled?(Look it up online using GOOGLE...I don't know what you have or if it contains one!)If the other computers get a green light when running µTorrent on them, what makes them "different" from the computer that doesn't?

ralph_redfort Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 im sure it has nothing to do with the router.this computer used to get the green light.. then suddenly one day it didnt!the other computers get the green light on many other different netowrks ive usedbut mine doesnt!the only thing i can think of is that i changed the mac address of my network aptaper a while ago to beat the uni network admins : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Well, I can already say that your settings are excessive for your internet connection -- and that's without you telling me your connection's measured speeds down and up. That alone can cause firewall conditions, at least part of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datedwards94 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 When getting NVIDIA message of conflict with UTorrent:If using an ASUS motherboard:Take your motherboard install disk an get into \Drivers\Chipset\32bit\XP\Ethernet\NAM\NAMSetup.exeStart this program - do an uninstall not modify/repair. This will eliminate the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
