No Incoming Connections / Yellow Triangle

[Hiko119]

Hello, so I'm having an issue. There seems to be tons of people with the same problem. My torrents get stuck at "connecting to peers", and the bottom right of my screen displays a orange-yellow triangle that indicates a connection problem. No torrents will download, regardless of whether they're old, new, or have a good seed/leech ratio or not.

OS: Windows 7 64 bit SP 1

uTorrent Version: 3.3

ISP: Comcast XFINITY

Protection Software: Norton, and I recently uninstalled Malwarebytes

What I've tried doing to fix this

• Removed and re-allowed uTorrent in my Norton firewall

• Established a static IP address, and successfully opened a port for uTorrent

• Uninstalled uTorrent and used other programs

• Reverted to a much older uTorrent version

• Re-installed the current version of uTorrent multiple times

• Tried the Alpha version of uTorrent 3.4

Still, the problem persists.

Any help? Thanks!

UPDATE

And it appears that the yellow triangle has disappeared, and I didn't notice it when I took the screenshot. Still, the problem has not changed.

I'm sorry for the messy thread, I should of had my stuff together before posting. Hopefully this is all the info anyone needs, if not I'll be happy to provide more. Thanks!

Post merged with first post to keep things neat. I didn't see an option to delete this reply. Then again I didn't look

An alternative source is now telling me the port I had "successfully" opened is closed. I'm working on this now, and will get back to this ASAP.

I'm absolutely stumped. I must be doing something wrong

I'm having the same problem and I think it may be a problem with Xfinity since I just got that.

Run the Glasnost tests.

Then provide ALL the information requested.

[Hiko119]

Thank you. The Glasnost tests fail to finish. I've tried on both Chrome and Firefox. It gets stuck at Time to Finish: 480 seconds

Here's all the information requested on the link you gave me (thanks for that by the way, it's hard to know what kind of info I should be posting since I'm not very knowledgeable in this kind of stuff)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• Everything I've changed and tried so far: Covered in my first post

•Network status light color: Alternates between orange, and sometimes no status light at all

•Port checker results: This says my port is open

•Settings indicated by speed guide: Speed guide test fails

•net.max_halfopen settings: Set to 100. Nothing here was ever modified.

•OS: Windows 7 64bit Service Pack 1

•Router/modem model: Arris TG862 (Router & m)odem combined

•ISP: Comcast XFINITY

•Connection type and speed test results: Speed test in uTorrent failed. results from speedtest.net indicate download/upload of 55.37mbps / 11.13mbps

Thanks again

xfinity's router modem combination has rules in it that need to be turned off.

THIS

I'm all fixed up now! I can't believe it was this simple. I just had to sign onto my router using a browser, click the firewall tap on the left, and setup a custom firewall that allowed for P2P activity. Again this is for the Comcast XFINITY ISP in case anyone is having a similar issue.

Thanks to everyone who helped/tried to help
