Firon Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Shutting down will not work. Only an uninstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manifestation48 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I have the same problem and was just in the process of making another (Oh god, not ANOTHER) topic, but luckily saw this before I posted. I have utorrent on both XP and Vista, both port fowarded, both with firewall exceptions made. Using the same torrent at roughly the same time (but not exactly to avoid local peer), the XP machine gets about Down: 280 kbs, Up: 310 kps while the Vista gets Down: .8 kbs, Up: 180 kbs (yeah, I have a ratio like 30.0:1 ) .I've followed the three holy grail threads in admin sigs (lurked around for about a week before posting) and got the internet and router difficulties to go away, but am left with the current situation (although Vista utor never worked beforehand). On Vista I've installed the tcpip.sys patch, updated my dual-core AMD proc. driver, and done everything with the router and firewall as stated. ...Yes, the router is a Linksys wrt54gs, *shame*, but since it works for XP....Awaiting some brilliant minds, or at least someone to show that I am in fact stupid and missed something obvious.EDIT: The port light is in fact red on Vista, Green on XP. Tried different ports, router 1st utor 2nd, firewall off, proxy off, etc. YES, I have updated the router's firmware, and I'm on a non-throttling D:10 MB, U:6 MB ISP cable line.

Milesady Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Ok I will try and uninstall but I don't think it will make any difference if it does work can you suggest any free alternatives to nortan cause I can't afford to buy new anti-virus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manifestation48 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 AVG and Avast! Firewalls are both free. Personally I prefer Avast! but it's a matter of opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milesady Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 it does not matter did not work uninstalled nortan and added comodo opened utorrent ports for that program and allowed access but nothing I'm lost for ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 If you check which version you got that may help (should be somewhere under a help menu up top. Comodo 3 is reported to work without troubles. As stated by Firon (who knows alot about troubleshooting) Norton 360 causes trouble. If you're sure you uninstalled Norton, perhaps you could read through the bottom portion of Ultima's How-To on how to paste a HiJackThis and Process Explorer log. It will verify whether or not you were successful in uninstalling Norton 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankyg Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 hi its my firstym here i dont really know where to post i hope im still in the ryt track im just following thread about utorrent in vista well i have problems using utorrent with port forwarding w/ that im still having (!) symbol... just one quick question how to open 192.168.1.1 i cant open it in vista IE and in firefox i still got error it says "Unable to connect" so that i can continue the procedure..... tnx in advance its been two days now i havent got enough sleep looking for forums about this one .....HELLO TO ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS FORUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 start->run->cmd ipconfig /allWhat is YOUR "IP Address" there? it may be 192.168.0.101, in which case you'd login to your router @ http://192.168.0.1 ... If that doesn't work check to see if your "default gateway" is something other than 192.168.0.1 and try that IP Address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankyg Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 tnx for the quick answer IPv4 address ----192.168.1.33<preferred>subnet mask ----255.255.255.0default gateway-192.168.1.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hmm :/ In that case yea, your router should be at 192.168.1.1 ...For example my ipconfig/all output includes this stuffDhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : YesAutoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : YesIP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.134Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 66.75.164.90 66.75.164.89Do you know what kind of router you have? If you know the username and password you can try a url like http://USER:PASSWORD@192.168.1.1It may also be related to Vista in which case I totally have no clue, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmeel Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 i dunno if im allowed to post links, so here's a copy/paste :"What I would see on Vista was:It struggled to find seeds, yet on XP, it found plenty. Download speed hovered around 0.2 kB/s whereas on XP it would happily do 50-350 kB/s. I looked through a lot of forums for solutions to my slow downloads, googled a lot, played with connection and firewall settings - all to no avail. It was driving me nuts!What finally worked and solved my problem is this: In utorrent, go to Options -> Preferences -> Advanced. The second option under Advanced is 'net.bind_ip'. Set this to the IP address of your computer. Restart utorrent.That fixed it - I now find plenty of seeds again and have got download speeds of 50-300 kB/s in utorrent."It worked for me.. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
