Re: Firewalled at TTD, not at other sites

This is totally confusing to me. Last night I noticed Dime was stating I am firewalled, and now this site is saying I'm firewalled. I don't get it, anyway I'll lay out what I know and see if anyone has some advice.

I am running uTorrent through port 50001. This port is forwarded, using the port forwarding check tool in uTorrent it states that port 50001 is forwarded. I am pretty sure I haven't changed IP address but I could check that and make sure the modem is forwarding properly, but if uTorrent is stating the port is forwarded I shouldn't be firewalled should I?

I run Zone Alarm at home and have never been able to work out how to allow the BT ports to be exempt from the firewall, but that was never a problem before, I've never appeared as firewalled since I worked out how to port forward. Is it the case that port forwarding will get around my firewall or do I need to do something in Zone Alarm?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
DS
