Re: Firewall???

Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 I have experienced continual firewall / blocked port problems. I know my way around a PC and have followed all the instructions that I could find, but to no avail. And yes, I've reviewed the note at http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ad.php?t=42590

I'd like to outline the steps that I've taken in the hope that someone here in the know can help me to resolve the problem, please.

Firewall program: Norton Internet Security 2009
Configured to open the port as instructed at http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic....373041#p373041

BitTorrent Client: uTorrent 2.0.0.0
Modem / Router: D-Link DSL-502T
Both configured as instructed at http://www.portforward.com/english/r...T/Utorrent.htm

To do this I established a statis IP address and have confirmed that it is in place.

I don't believe that Norton Internet Security is the culprit, as the port reports as being blocked even when the firewall (and also Windows Firewall) is temporarily disabled. Also I don't believe that uTorrent is the cause, as the port shows as being firewalled at http://www.canyouseeme.org/ (outside of the uTorrent program).

Prior to installing Windows 7 I used the same hardware and software, with no firewalling issues affecting my torrent activities at all. However

Can anyone help, please?

Many thanks!
