Aryudsoh Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I've had problems getting the network status light to turn green. It stays yellow all the time. Has been this way since I formatted my hard drive. I don't know what it could be.I'm running XP SP2, Commodo Firewall Pro, Speedtouch 780 router, ISP is BE.Made Utorrent a trusted application in Commodo (also tried switching it off). Switched on UPnP in Utorrent and enabled it in my router. Tried switching off my firewall, running test torrents, changing to a static IP (10.0.0.4) and nothing.Run out of ideas. It used to work fine before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 When you say you formatted your HDD, I assume you meant you reinstalled WinXP? If nothing else changed (router/modem etc.) then it's probably your computer, make sure the built in XP firewall is off, and remove and re-add µT's rules. Also make sure your port is still forwarded in your router, and to the correct address, since a reinstall could change the IPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryudsoh Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Formatted my hard drive and reinstalled XP. Windows firewall is off and am using Commodo. I switched off my firewall though to see if the light would go green without it but it didn't. I've enabled UPnP in my router so as to avoid having to forward the ports manually as I did before the format (although I did try forwarding it manually as well but no change).

GTHK Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I prefer manual forwarding as I find UPnP to be a bit, unreliable. Disabling firewalls doesn't always deactivate them, try recreating the rules, if that doesn't work, try uninstalling Comodo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryudsoh Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Tried uninstalling comodo and running utorrent but still have a yellow light. Manually forwarding the ports didn't help. Any more ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTHK Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Try removing NOD32 to see if that fixes it, if not, Comodo again as well. NOD32 has caused some kind of bug before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryudsoh Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Tried that already. Switched off both Commodo and NOD32 but no dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Most firewall/anti-virus programs don't actually switch off when you tell them to, they stay connected but just stop doing there job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 It is rather unlikely that your ADSL line can upload as fast as you told it to.Have you perhaps confused the speed test results units...thinking it meant KiloBYTES/sec when it really meant kilobits/sec?Your ISP seems to be a rebranded "Carphone Warehouse Broadband Services"...I think that's Tiscali ISP's lines -- one of the worst ISPs in all of Europe.

Aryudsoh Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Sorry meant to say I disabled both and uninstalled both (commodo and nod32).Did the speed test again and it is kiloBYTES/sec. About 130 odd this time. Isn't related to Carphone Warehouse. BE use their own lines as they are owned by O2 which is a part of BT. BT own all the lines over here. And BE is the fastest broadband in UK (unfortunately as I'm far from the exchange I don't get the best speeds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I don't see anything else problematic... can you try bypassing your router? And when Switeck says one of the worst ISP's, I think, he means they mess up BT transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryudsoh Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 It's a modem router so that wouldn't be possible as I have no other modem. I'm completely stumped as what to do next. I can't see anything different from when it was working before. Maybe it'll sort itself out later on (wishful thinking). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 It happening after an OS reinstall suggests the computer but... with those two things uninstalled, can you create another PE log? Also, your sure the built in firewall is disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryudsoh Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 OK. Don't know how this worked out but I connected my router to a secondary PC, installed utorrent on it, tested to see if the port was open (and it was), came back to this PC, checked to see if the port was open again and it worked! I have no idea how this happened but I'm not going to worry about it anymore tonight as I'm way too tired. Thanks for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 A'ight, if it screws up again, or if you figure out how it was fixed let me know, if it worked on another computer it sounds like it was the router :/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryudsoh Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yeah. I think my router is just screwed. I should ask BE for a replacement but I know they won't do that unless it completely dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Someone posted about having a crap modem and had to insist on a newer one, followed by going through troubleshooting tips he had already tried, and when the guy came he had to go through it again before he handed it over, insta-speed boost, or whatever it was if fixed .
