mr.lavatory Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 OK so I've forwarded my port on my router etc, and when I go to the port forward test page, it says that the port is open, yet the connection icon is always yellow and says that there are no incoming connections. I've tried various ports, tried closing all software that might clash with it etc, yet I always get this problem. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Closing software firewalls typically doesn't work (except for the Windows XP firewall)...you have to UNINSTALL them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.lavatory Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Windows firewall is the only firewall I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yellow is merely an indeterminate status. If the port tester says it's fine, it probably is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 On really small torrents with few peers and seeds, once everyone is connected to you uTorrent will think you're firewalled (yellow light) because nobody else tries to connect to you.
