uTorrent aren´t working

[jacew]

I cant download anything with my utorrent I just started using torrents but every time i try to start download label gets red, logger say that "UDP port bind() failed" and connection mark says "listen error". I´ve seen couple of topics where are same problem but i didn´t understand them very well

I´ve shut down my software firewall and Im using windows 95 which has no firewall itself,

Have you made sure nothing else on the machine is using the listen port you're trying to use?

[jacew]

I´ve tried many different ports always same problem

Win 95 has to have its winsock patched (or in other words to be the last series of patches Microsoft released for Win 95) before it will work ok with µTorrent.

You'll probably need to disable UPnP, Local Peer Discovery, DHT (both kinds) in µTorrent on Win 95.

winsock.dll files version is 4.00.1114 (did you mean that?). I turned both DHT:s, local peer discovery and UPnP off and restarted client, nothing help

Tracker status is "hostname not found" I just looked

If you are patched and configured correctly a torrent from http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ or http://www.slackware.com/torrents/ should work. Hostname not found denotes a DNS error at your end.

if you open up a command prompt, what do you see when you try ping www.google.com I get:

Pinging www.l.google.com [72.14.253.147] with 32 bytes of data:

You really should upgrade to something modern.

those torrents has same problem I tryed that ping and I get same message

Which software firewall do you have? Simply shutting down a firewall does no good as it often leaves its hooks in place. Uninstalling is the only option, so can you do that temporarily and reboot to check?

Also, re. that Winsock patch, are you sure you've applied this (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182108)?

[jewelisheaven]

If a ping to google goes "hostname not found", i'd re-set your internet settings on the computer, or at the very least (ON XP) repair the connection if you are DHCP.

There is a problem with your DNS servers. If you statically set your IP, check your router for updated DNS server information.

I meant i get same message than you (of course with different different ip and time). i try to update my winsock (im not sure what i have)

I got it working, i didn´t have winsock2 that was the problem, thanks for all helpers

Hmm... Just as Switeck suspected! Good you got it to work.
