vanDivX Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I am wondering if the trouble might be if you forwarded some port that is used by some other program, then if that port is bound to it and you start uTorrent, it would be the same as if you didn't forwardnot sure if that could happen since there is buton to generate random port for you (unless you go with the default) and likely certain ports are rulled out beforehand, still if you run ICQ or something that jumps on ports wild, it might happenyou might try to forward something else than port 11122in my case I forwarded single port on my hardware gateway/firewall (I take it one port is enough for single instance of uTorrent beind that firewall) and also forwarded that port on ZoneAlarmPro that I run on the LAN PC, I still get this message in the Logger tab something about UPNP something or other failing to bind of what to port (I put that Logger on verbose mode and lost the entry completely). But I get no error when testing portforwarding so that is something else not related to your problem.sory if I seem to pigyback on his threadvanDivX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Indeed, I answered your question in your other thread =PAnd yeah, if a port is being used by another application and µTorrent tries to access it, there will be a listening error, and µTorrent would basically act as if the port weren't open.

sigh! Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Well, nothing will work. I've tried with many ports but they are never open when I test them. What could be interfering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigh! Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 So I should just keep mapping different ports? Is it 100% sure that I'll eventually get to one that works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
