My daughter just got a new PC, directly connected to the Wireless router.

I connect my laptop wirelessly. I use the uTorrent on it.

However, since connecting/setting up the PC (no uTorrent), I've had problems with web browsers on the laptop. PC is fine. On laptop, just a few seconds/couple of pages and then it just goes into loading mode, never actually finding the page/finishing loading it.

A couple of things:

*using a DSL router which I had to reset in order to set up her PC

*uTorrent is working fine on the laptop and doesn't 'seem' to have been affected

*using Avast antivirus on both comps

Any suggestions?

More information is needed regarding the computer using uT. A computer not using uT would have no impact upon the other, right? ;) Is it of the dual-core or x64 variety? This would help troubleshooting if it is a hardware instability. Also checking to see whether uTorrent is overloading the connection would be a good idea. "Resetting" the router may have removed customized settings you put in-place specifically for the original computer. Does that sound like something you already did when you started running uT before following the Setup Guide?

Ummmm...I've got most of it on track now.

Both comps are Dual Core and both are now running fine.

The only issue I have is the yellow exclamation mark in uT: downloads are fine, uploads are so slow they are practically not happening.

Port has been forwarded. I can't see any other issues. Except that I may have made a couple of adjustments through the wireless laptop rather than through the connected PC.

Does that make a difference?

Hmm, well as Shad0w's tutorial shows in http://bt.degreez.net/firewalled.html being firewalled doesn't cut off your communications completely... So that may explain your lack of uploading... or it may not. :/

If you did forward the port is it possible the rule applies to only one of your computers? You need to apply 1 rule for inbound traffic on TCP (for just peer traffic) and UDP (if you use DHT) for EACH computer. Also note that trying to utilize N computers with filesharing on your LAN means you should DIVIDE all values for connections and upload limits BY N so as to not overload your router :) . Generally speaking wireless is OK as long as you don't try to create > 50 connections. If "I may have made a couple of adjustments" means you logged into your router from one computer versus the other.. yea it won't matter. I would suggest you double check the rules you made in your router and be sure you have at least 1 rule for each LAN IP address (ipconfig).
