h0dg3s Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I can't connect to any trackers, whatsoever. They all say connection closed by peer. I disabled my firewall, and haven't changed any router settings since last week when it was working fine. I have UPnP enabled, and the uTorrent test page says my port is forwarded properly. I've rebooted my pc and my router. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 What firewall is it? Are you running other packet filtering, or security suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Well, you're on an .edu connection, so it's possible your university is blocking everything.Your half-open is set to 8? YOu made sure you didn't install the Forceware Network Manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0dg3s Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I'm not on a .edu domain at home. I was posting from school. half-open is set to 8, never changed it from default, and never heard of forceware network manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 It's the NVIDIA firewall, and is installed by default when you install the chipset drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0dg3s Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I installed the chipset drivers over a year ago. Everything was fine up until last week.So I flashed my router. Still no go Guess I'll try reinstalling Windows. About time for that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 You did reboot after uninstalling ZA right? The most telling part of this was that OOo and Slackware did not work :/ If you really feel reinstalling windows is prudent be sure to Backup your settings your downloaded data, and your torrents if you changed the Ctrl-P -> Other -> Torrent Storage folder.To keep everything the same you always have the option of "repair" when you install again.

h0dg3s Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Yes, I rebooted after each individual step. I find it highly annoying but it's not utorrent-specific. Reinstalling Windows is prudent to me in that it's not working how it should. At least I have XP and not Vista. I'm waiting on my new harddrive to come in and then I'll reinstall. The thing that annoys me is that my other friends on the same ISP have no problems.***Update***I have confirmed that my ISP is blocking bittorrent. While they aren't blocking friends of mine across town, I live in an apartment complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
