Windows Firewall exception bug in 1.4.1 BETA b411


boo

Recommended Posts

I have windows XP SP2 and Windows firewall disabled.

If I have the 'Windows Firewall exception' option turned on,

µTorrent will give me this error at start in µTorrent's Logger window =

[14:12:23] Error opening Windows firewall: 0x800706D9

Just a minor bug, because I will disable the feature so this won't bug me :P

It did that to me, but I figured it was because I'm running Windows Server 2003 SP1 (the Windows firewall service is disabled, not just turned off, I might add). I'd say if the firewall wasn't disabled, it wouldn't give that error. But I believe you already know that lol :D

EDIT: tjobo, did you disable your firewall first?

My firewall has never been enabled. But I doublechecked to be positive about.

Also tried to re-disable it but still nothing in the logger. Also tried to remove the old exception (and a new one was added, though the firewall was disabled) Still no error.

I got the same message on XP SP2 with disabled XP firewall.

Btw, there is a difference between only disabling the XP firewall from control center and stopping the firewall service(!). If you disable Windows firewall the service is still running. I have set firewall service start to manual and have stopped it (as I use a different firewall and additionally a linux router with hardware firewall).
