visum Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 uTorrent not able to get through Windows 7 beta 1 (build 7000) firewall.I've tried messing with the manual firewall settings, UPnP, router port forwarding, etc. - nothing seems to work - constant yellow triangle in uTorrent with "Error opening Windows firewall: 0x80070005" upon startup.

moogly Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 If your Win FW is hidden, maybe try this:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=385115#p385115Not sure that will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visum Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 thanks for the reply - already tried those things - might be something with new Windows 7 APIs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yes it might. Maybe the process for a software to add an exception about itself in Windows 7 Firewall is different... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visum Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I did allow the exception (when the Windows Firewall pop-up presented itself and then double-checked it manually) but that didn't seem to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Does running uT as admin prevent the message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visum Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Run as admin seems to be the same (fluctuates between yellow triangle and red circle). Though I've been further messing with the various Windows Firewall settings (W7 has Public and Private Network settings) - added 4 different uTorrent exceptions to the list and now it seems to work - cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 What a happy new year, windows 7, yay! Would you mind listing these exceptions for future reference, aka LAN Address= incoming port, always, WAN Address= incoming port, tcp & incoming port,udp, always ... etc?

visum Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Even though I now have a green circle, the transfers seem oddly slow - not like beforeWindows 7 Firewall exceptions (both private and public networks)* two different µtorrent.exe exceptions (does not allow one to remove them so they may be created when the program is active)* µTorrent (TCP-In) - Allow µTorrent network traffic with Edge Traversal* µTorrent (UDP-In) - Allow µTorrent network traffic with Edge Traversaldoesn't seem to require specific port settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3ME15 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 hi guys.. seems you're having some problems making Utorrent run properly in Windows 7 Beta concerning NAT i.e. the network ok signalsolution:1) If your're running Utorrent for the 1st time, let Windows 7 beta firewall detect its inbound and outbound connections and if the firewall asks to unblock/block new program, just click the "unblock" button2) Open "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" and check out the "Inbound Rules", the Firewall in Win7 Beta has 2 network classifications pertaining to programs connecting through your network (i.e. Private/Public) and it adjust inbound & outbound connection rules accordingly3) Utorrent has 6 Inbound rules logged in Windows Firewall (3 UDP & TCP protocols on my Win7Beta test rig and may vary on your list) and it seems Windows Firewall has blocked 2 connections (visible thru a red sign on the left side of Utorrent), 1 UDP & 1 TCP connection under Private profile 4) Right-click on properties under the General tab, under the Actions section there are 3 checkbox choices:Allow ConnectionAllow Connection if SecureBlock the ConnectionSeems the default is "Block the Connection", just tick the "Allow Connection" and your network status in Utorrent will go greenBeen observing this problem since day 1 of Win7 Beta release, so far this method has resolved my Utorrent connection issues and downloading at max speed on my 3Mbit connection.And also, if you're having slow downloads still, try increasing the Half-Open connections in Win7 Beta (default is 10).. the method on increasing it by using a VistaTcpPatch GUI fix in Vista also works in Win7 Beta.Hope this little contribution has helped you guys.

visum Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 for some reason, the downloads are still slower than normal - have half-open connections set as 200 in Windows 7 - and 20 in uTorrent (net.max_halfopen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3ME15 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 for some reason, the downloads are still slower than normal - have half-open connections set as 200 in Windows 7 - and 20 in uTorrent (net.max_halfopen)i've set my half-open connection to infinity (∞) and only used default settings in uTorrent (net.max_halfopen = 8) and still getting maximum throughput.maybe its not on the uTorrent setting but on the dsl/cable line or your modem/router & maybe the settings also? i might be wrong considering i'm just speculating the problem.-=X3ME15 - Win7 Beta Tester=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 20 in uTorrent (net.max_halfopen)Why ? The default value of 8 is not enough ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visum Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Broadband connection and configuration hasn't changed since going to Windows 7 beta and uTorrent alphaRegarding 20 halfopen, just trying different settings to see if the speed improves.-----Update: 01.10.09Installed Windows 7 beta last week - same speed issues with alpha 13910 (about a third or fourth normal speed). then installed 1.8.1 again (replacing the alpha) - speed is instantly back up again (on Windows 7 beta still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
