hoppingbits Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Hi there,since I have µTorrent installed, RDP connections via ssh (localhost:<portnumber>) are impossible.Unloading µTorrents Backgroung Agent, fixes the problem.Does anybody know why, and how to get rid of the prob, with keeping the µTorrent Agent in background?I discovered by using wireshark, that there is no ip-traffic happening from the source to the destination ip, as long µTorrent is loaded in background. At the desktop, after I started the RDP client, the window keeps showing "configuring RDP connection" , for hours... (loosely translated from german to english).My config is Win7 Ultimate with Putty as ssh client. The destination entry for the RDP client on my Win7 computer ist localhost:12345. Putty is configured for tunneling 127.0.0.1:12345 to <destination ip>:3389.Since Wireshark can't capture localhost traffic, I can't see whats blocking things.Everything works, when I quit µTorrent. -But not, when it's loaded. Why not? And how can I change it?Greets,hoppingbist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppingbits Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Why should µTorrent listen at any port at all on localhost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Because it needs to receive incoming messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppingbits Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Incoming messages arrive on the system ip addresse via networkkabel, not localhost. Localhost ist 127.0.0.1As I read at anotherplace, ist a a Bug from an older beta version if µTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 As I read at anotherplace, ist a a Bug from an older beta version if µTorrent.Go back and tell them they are talking bollocks!Localhost (127.0.0.0/8) is the loopback connector of the network interface, so ALL ports from 0 to 65535 are available.
