Problem with Network when doing network and configuration test

[YoYo25]

Hello,

I am relatively new to uTorrent....so a question about an alert I get whenever I perform the Network and Configuration test.

When ever I do it...the Bandwidth test is perfect (I get green V) but the Network part doesn't get the green V but a yellow one with a star on the side and it says "Results: Port is not open (but you are still able to download)".

What does it mean? what can I do to make it work?

The current port is 18352 (random port it says).

I am using Windows 7 (X64 bit) and Norton 360 (version 6) as my internet security.

Thank you for your help and advice,

YoYo

If you use a random port and a router, how is the router going to forward connections? Are you going to modify your router firewall every time you change to a new port? Setup a range of ports (all possible ports that uTorrent will pick) to have your router foward it? Hmmmmm

Hi,

Thanks for your answer....

I am do work with a router by Edimax. How do I "setup a range of ports" like you offered? I can go into the control panel of the Edimax router but kinda affriad to change something if I am not sure how too....Also, what is the port range I sould use?

Thank you,

YoYo

Uncheck random, port range is, unless a section exists for single ports, just the listen port for both start and end range. portforward.com has guides on portforwarding by router, Edimax is probably covered.
