WINDOWS 7- please explain configuration

Recommended Posts

uTorrent used to work perfectly fine in windows XP. after installing windows 7, i'm not getting the green network status icon. THIS IS NOT ABOUT PORT FORWARDING/NAT/any such thing, the only variable that has changed is the OS(therefore the firewall).

Specifically, the online port checker doesn't work for any number:

Please let me know how to configure the firewall to make uTorrent work in win7.

Better yet, THIS IS NOT A BUG REPORT IF YOU'RE ASKING FOR HELP WITH CONFIGURATION OR any such thing.

And it is about port forwarding if you're having port issues.

- What firewall are you using? Just the built-in Windows Firewall? If yes to the latter question, is Preferences > Connection > Add Windows Firewall exception enabled?

- Did you make sure your computer's IP address is still statically set correctly such that the router is forwarding to the correct IP?
