Ramalama1 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I discovered that this was enabled - probably by default as was NAT+ so I disabled the latter, but have question on the former. Computer is on a 2wire wireless gateway which requires manual port opening. I never noticed this before but was looking at logging some more and noticed that there were unable to map port xxx.xxx.x.xxx:xxxxxWhere the I.P. is my internal network address, not my ISP, and the port number is the one I have been using for eons. I have UPnP enabled in Windows firewall also. Should I disable it in uTorrent AND WFW or only the former and if so why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 If you forwarded manually then you can disable it in µT. As for the Windows firewall exception, I think it's for services that use the UPnP API, if what I gathered from other posts is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramalama1 Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 That is good to know - great, and thanks once again!Edited to add this:I went in and disabled NAT-PMP - no ill effects. After reading your reply, I unchecked UPnP and my green light turned yellow. Rechecking it had no effect - exiting and restarting again had no effect, so after leaving it enabled, I exited uTorrent and rebooted. It took a dogs age to go green again (about 30 seconds). Either uTorrent or Windows XP did not like it unchecked so I will leave it there. Falls under the category of if it aint broke don't fix it, since obviously, fixing it broke and I had to fix it! Since nothing was running I went to DSL reports and ran the Flash check for three different sites and got 316 for up and 1262 for down (average of the three) - not much different that what I got with NAT-PMP enabled. I wish I could buy better speed but cannot - not available so I have to live with it. Anyway, for some odd reason I need UPnP enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
