Can't get any ports to forward.

Voxx · October 20, 2008

First off, I'd just like to say I am not new to this. I've been using Utorrent for years now, and have never had a single problem forwarding the ports. I have also done it for countless other people and applications.

Utorrent is throwing me for a loop right now, though.

As far as I can tell, it looks like everything is setup ok. Utorrent was working for for a long time on this computer, and then all of a sudden... it just wouldn't forward a port. I've tried multiple ports.. I've even tried skipping the router completely and going straight to the modem. Nothing seems to be working. I have Windows Firewall turned off, I have never installed any other form of Anti-Virus, or Firewall protection. I am not running Peer Guardian or any traffic blocker of any kind. I even tried un/reinstalling UTorrent.

Any ideas?

Firon · October 20, 2008

Connect to the modem again and try turning the Windows firewall back on, just for the hell of it.

Also, if you're on XP, try running Winsock XP Fix.

Voxx · October 20, 2008

I'm on Vista, and I tried the modem trick, no work.

Firon · October 20, 2008

Can you post a HijackThis log?

I see that you have an NVIDIA chipset. By default, the platform drivers install the NVIDIA firewall (network access manager, forceware access manager, lots of names for it).

I don't have Nvidia's Firewall installed, or it isn't showing up in the Control Panel at least.

Firon · October 20, 2008

You're running 1.8.1, right? 1.8 has a few problems on Vista.

Just to note, have you actually tried using the port tester in the speed guide?

Have you tried running ut as admin?

Voxx · October 20, 2008

I am running 1.8.1, I always use the Speed Guide tester. Just tried running as admin, and no luck. Is there a way to see if my router is letting any ports forward at all, or if it is just UTorrent being silly?

Firon · October 20, 2008

Okay, connect your PC directly to the modem again. Then check ipconfig and paste the output here.

Voxx · October 20, 2008

Firon · October 20, 2008

Okay, that means your modem isn't also a router...

And if you run a speed test right now, it tells you the port is closed?

Just for the sake of testing, can you re-enable the Windows Firewall and restart utorrent? Make sure "add windows firewall exception" is checked in Connection.

Voxx · October 20, 2008

Ran the port test, says the port is blocked.

Started up Windows Firewall, even added the port I am using to the exceptions list. Firewall Exception is indeed checked, and I restarted UTorrent. Ran the speed test and it is still saying the port is closed. I'm no expert...but doesn't this seem to be defying all logic?

Firon · October 21, 2008

That is just bizarre.

Okay, get TCPView and try to monitor what happens when µTorrent tries to listen for a connection on the port you set.

Voxx · October 21, 2008

Alright, this is now treading into unfamiliar waters for me. I ran TCPView while testing the port and all that was happening was firefox connections establishing.

I marked the line with the port, so I assume TCPView is seeing it.. but when I run the port test nothing happens on that line.

Hmm... try uninstalling IPv6.

Start -> Run -> netsh int ipv6 uninstall

Doesn't seem to me like you have µTorrent configured properly to listen on port 60123. If you have, make sure you don't have UPnP enabled.

Voxx · October 21, 2008

I ran that command and it didn't fix anything, tried rebooting and the log file looks exactly the same to me.

Here are my settings

If you need to see something else let me know.

Do you have the alternate port set in the WebUI config?

Ultima · October 21, 2008

Wow. That's crazy -- this is indeed almost logic-defying >_>

Try running µTorrent with a clean slate. Meaning... Start > Run > %appdata%\uTorrent

Exit µTorrent, backup settings.dat somewhere else (not with the executable), then delete settings.dat and settings.dat.old. Re-run µTorrent and reconfigure the port settings and see if the problem persists.

Edit: As well, what does the tooltip for the network status icon say? Is there any error in the Logger tab? (Make sure you have verbose and error logging enabled -- you can skip peer communication logger messages).

I was going to use a Sidebar addon for Utorrent, but decided not to. Now that I think about it..that is around when everything went haywire.

I reinstalled, but maybe it saved the settings, I'll try it with a clean slate.

FYI, the alternative listening port is still binding as long as that checkbox is checked, even though it's grayed (it's definitely a usability problem). Backup the current settings.dat for us to take a look at anyway, enable WebUI, and uncheck the alternative listening port.

That did it.... dayum. Thanks a ton guys.

Ultima · October 21, 2008

Which suggestion? XD

Do you still have a copy of the odd settings.dat for us to see? Maybe it's some weird corruption that can be reproduced/fixed by the devs?

Voxx · October 21, 2008

Deleting the settings.dat and re-setting it up...now I need to reconnect through my modem and make 100% sure.

Yea I do, let me post em real quick/

Firon · October 21, 2008

This might explain why several other people have this same exact issue for no obvious reason...

Definitely a bug that needs to be fixed.
