I followed these instructions except number 1-6 dont work for me. i do it exactly but when i go back to it, it says allow and it isnt in custom can some one explain to me why? i also run windows vista

(Thanks for your response. I actually tried out various possibilities and finally got it through.

I would like to share my experiences for other users' interests on how to open a port in firewall set up by Norton AntiVirus 2008:

1. Goto Norton AntiVirus tab of Norton Protection Centre and click on Internet Worm Protection under Web Browsing in Settings

2. A small window will pop up with Turn Off and Configure buttons; click on configure

3. Click Program Control in "How to customize your settings"

4. If there is any entry with uTorrent in the list, delete it and click add.

- Click Allow: Allow connections that match this rule and click "Next"

- Keep as is (connections from other computers) and click "Next"

- Click Any computer and click "Next"

- Choose "TCP and UDP" in the protocol and check "Only communications that match all types and ports listed below and click Add button

- check Individually specified ports in "Filter by" section

- Local in "Locality" section

- and enter your uTorrent port and click "ok"

- Click "Next"

- Leave as is (create an event log entry) and click "Next"

- Type any name for the rule and click "Next"

- Finally click "Finish"

5. Now you should have a new entry in the list, click ok again

6. Click ok and you should be back to options page of Norton AntiVirus

7. Click General Rules and click Add

- Click Allow: Allow connections that match this rule and click "Next"

- Keep as is (connections from other computers) and click "Next"

- Click Any computer and click "Next"

- Choose "TCP and UDP" in the protocol and check "Only communications that match all types and ports listed below and click Add button

- check Individually specified ports in "Filter by" section

- Local in "Locality" section

- and enter your uTorrent port and click "ok"

- Click "Next"

- Leave as is (create an event log entry) and click "Next"

- Type any name for the rule and click "Next"

- Finally click "Finish"

8. Now you should have a new entry in the list, click ok again, move it to the top if you're not sure about other entries

9. Click ok and you should be back to options page of Norton AntiVirus. Click ok and you're done.

10. Test your uTorrent port and it should be forwarded properly now. )
