Windows firewall Question

[linv5800]

Hey everybody ,

I have checked my windows firewall to make sure that utorrent 3.2 is ok.

It says the utorrent UDP and TCP IN are good to go . Im just wondering if

the OUT is included in that or does it need to be added manually ? Also ,

I thought there was a 3rd protocall sp? was used by ut. Im not talking about

the DHT , i could be wrong , i am most times . lol .

Would some kind soul help me out with this question ? It would be so appreciated . Thanks all !

Who knows?

The firewall is on YOUR machine and we can't see what it actually says, look in advanced settings and see what inbound and outbound rules are set.

I thought there was a 3rd protocall

Only two transport protocols are used.

uTP is probably what you are thinking of.

There is nothing listed for utorrent under outbound rules .

Does that help ? do i need to add it ? If so , how do i word it ?

Yes and if you do not know how to write firewall rules, and there's no good reason why you should have that knowledge, use the "Allow an application ..."

Alternatively if you are behind a NAT router disable the fire wall completely because by the time a computer firewall warns of anything, it's already too late, as whatever it is has already established a foothold.
