DHT awaiting to log in?

[Bernas24]

This happens occasionally and the only thing that seems to work is restarting the router. It's been happening a lot lately and I can't afford to be constantly doing this. Also happens with Bitorrent. Deleting those .old files from %appdata% or whatever didn't seem to work either.

 

I'm sure it has something to do with my ISP. Maybe the ports or whatever. I don't know much about it though. Any help?

 

Thanks.

Do you have the SPI firewall enabled in your router?

What model router is it?

I don't know how to check that. It's a Thomson TG784n

SPI Firewall is in the router's configuration panel. Sometimes simply called "Firewall"

Right so what should I do then? Walk me through the process please, I'm a noob xD

bump. also the triangle thing on the bottom right corner says the following: "No incoming connections. Unless the icon turns green, it could indicate a problem with your network configuration."

I don't use that particular model router, so you're going to need to make your way through that on your own.

I have been using utorrent for a long time now and never had any problems until very recently.  I have the program on two machines one with Windows 7 OS and the other with Windows 8.1 OS, both are now intermittently showing "DHT waiting to log on" for hours or days at a time.  Downloads still occur but very slowly.  Stange thing is that both machines don't necessarily show the DHT message at the same time, which would indicate that the modem is OK (both machines on the same network), and it seems self correcting, albeit very occasionally.  I am using utorrent 3.4.2 (build 34944) on both machines.  I'm wondering if this problem started with this build number.
