boo Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 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: 0x800706D9Just a minor bug, because I will disable the feature so this won't bug me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjobo Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I couldn't reproduce that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 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 EDIT: tjobo, did you disable your firewall first?-Ares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I believe this was mentioned in the IRC-channel, so it should be fixed soon.The message is shown for me as well. It's probably only displayed if you have the firewall (or ICS service) disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Animorc: yeah this happened to someone with Windows 2k...Boo has XP, so this is a first for that OS (that I'm aware of). :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumiVano Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 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).

ironboyzz Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 There was a new check box to Add µT to Win Xp Firewall. Can I assume you unchecked that? Was enabled by default! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 @ironboyzz: Yeah, if you uncheck that, it won't give you the message. Boo even said he disabled the feature to make it stop.-Ares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaV Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Erm, what's the point in having XP firewall disabled and "Add µT to Win Xp Firewall" option enabled anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 This isn't a bug, it's happening because the service is disabled/removed/not present. Turn off the checkbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
