jiavis Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image=utorrent1cu7.jpgPlease click on the screen shot above. Whenever I run utorrent that icon: Internet Connection will appear, however it is DISABLED (I tried enabling it but it status never changes and remains Disable always), but once i end utorrent that icon will also disappear. If msn messenger is running, msn messenger will also be included on the list (inside the advance settings window), but as soon as I exit utorrent even if msn messenger is still running the internet connection icon will disappear. Is that normal for that icon to appear only when utorrent is running? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Those settings can be used to configure UPnP on a router, are you using UPnP in µTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiavis Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 well enable UPnP Port mapping is checkedenable NAT - PMP port mapping is also checkedAdd windows firewall exception I have just unchecked <- should i re-check it ?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yes, that might fix your network status error. If it doesn't put your mouse over the red icon at the bottom of µT and copy the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiavis Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 So you what you are saying is that the extra internet connection icon is caused by utorrent's UPnP settings, and there is nothing to worry about?thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 That icon is nothing to worry about, but the other one you have is: http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#What_do_the_Network_Status_lights_mean.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiavis Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 since i have been using it i had never gotten it to turn green mostly a yellow triangle, even if the firewall exemption is checked, under utorrents setting, and utorrent is also exempted on the windows firewall settings. I even tried opening a port on my router once but that gets too complicated so I eventually gave up, just got afriad i might mess up something, so as long as its works eventhough not at its full potencial I am fine with it. Thank you very much for your help GTHK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Being firewalled is bad though If you'd like to figure it out, post the make and model of your router AND modem. Port forward instructions are at http://portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/Utor/Utorindex.htm and it's possible that your modem is also a router as well.
