Port is not open

[Guest torente]

Hi.

I reinstalled Win 7 x64. Then i installed 3.1.3 which i use and i am satisfied with it. I backup cfg file from uTorrent and c/p into a fresh installed uTorrent. Before i opened a port on my router and uTorrent worked perfect and i always have green light.

After reinstall Win 7 i did all the same. Port is still open, old cfg file is there, i checked 'add win. fw exception' and i checked in FW (this time i use win FW, before i used Comodo)

and i use free avast AV. Anyway i tried to disable both but i always when i check setup guide port is not open. I do not know where is my mistake. FW and AV. Only for what i am not sure did i give a good local ip address into router configuration

Does ipv4 address is local address when i check in Network connection detail?

After reinstall i put some Win services on manual. If that can make problems i will write what services are they.

And i must fix this. I hate after reinstall OS when i see applications are not set-up perfect

I just a new desktop with windows 8, all of a sudden, I can't get uTorrent Plus to download anything. I get the little red icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. I contacted the manufacturer of my computer and they said because the files are free ware they are prone to viruses and the programs on the computer won't allow them to download. What can I do?

[Guest torente]

I have red icon right now.

And 3.1.3 is no longer supported on the forum.

[Guest torente]

Ok. I just update at v3.2.3 . Will i get support now

Is something important from here to have turned ON? I turned all off.

Nothing that is relevant to torrenting there.

Setting a fixed IP is done in the TCP/IP properties of the network connection or in your router control.

[Guest torente]

Any suggestion what can i check?

[ciaobaby]

Check the port forwarding on your router, which is usually found under "Games and Applications".

Run the "Glasnost" tests -> http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992

And if you are indeed running uTorrent plus;

Read the title -> http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=115884 follow the instruction.

Did not help me

I do not planning to use uTorrent plus

How to be sure i chose good local ip address which i have to enter in router menu?

-------

Solved:

Here is the solution of my problem:

run > cmd > ipconfig

that IP address is address which i have to enter in local ip address in router menu. I did that, checked over setup guide and i immediately get green check.

btw do i have to left those checked for UPNP and NAT-PMP?

[ciaobaby]

There is no "good local IP" just the one your router DHCP server gives your PC

btw do i have to left those checked for UPNP and NAT-PMP?

No

So now you have forwarded the listen port to that IP you need to set it so that is the "prefered" IP in your router's DHCP config.

How will depend on your router.

[Guest torente]

I did not spell right. I do not know which word to choose for what i want to explain. Good = right/well/... ip address. That was the first what i asked.

So now you have forwarded the listen port to that IP you need to set it so that is the "prefered" IP in your router's DHCP config.

I am not sure what do you mean.

[ciaobaby]

Log in to your router's configuration, go to where the connected devices are listed and there is normally a checkbox to allow you to set a device to always use the same IP fo it.

[Guest torente]
