bit torrent client? Firewalled
hi have been somewhat familiar with bit torrents for a while.
I recently 1. switched to a client manager called bit torrent 2. also I recently switched to norton antivirus I was consistantly getting Norton popups talking about a computer trying to gain access to my computer (but I think maybe it was others on the torrent at the time??) now when I come to this site I see FIREWALLED listed under my name (never saw this before when I had Freeom firewall and Bit Tornado) I even shut off both my winXP and norton firewall and it still shows. I am not even DLing a show and it says FIREWALLED. I looked through the article on port forwarding and got lost, I have no router. I have cable wire to moden to ethernet card. My modem is a Terayan (adelphia)....... could the client manager be the problem, or is there a fix for norton? some insight would be great thanks added: I just hopped over to bt.etree and started a torrent and I do not show up there as firewalled.......

Re: bit torrent client? Firewalled
i just opened this page and now it doesn't say firewalled
I think since I know my settings are allowing bit torrent and the other bt sites I use do not say I am firewalled I think the problem may be with how Traders Den is seeing my computer No members have liked this post.

Re: bit torrent client? Firewalled
all of a sudden mine says firewalled as well, but i don't even have a firewall on my computer. i went from connectable to firewalled.
none of the other sites i'm using think i'm firewalled, either. No members have liked this post.

Re: bit torrent client? Firewalled
Sometimes when the tracker gets busy (I think) it shows a false Firewalled. Has happened to me a couple of times. Stopping and restarting cures it.

Re: bit torrent client? Firewalled
Also, you guys may want to do a NAT check to verify if you really are firewalled or not: http://btfaq.com/natcheck.pl
Also, as far as I know (and I just went to double-check), etree never tells you if you are firewalled or not.

Re: bit torrent client? Firewalled
I had the same problem. I was not firewalled according to Dime. I tried that excellent advice from Mr. Mamba and just stopped the torrent and restarted it. Magically, the RED firewalled notice went away -- thanks!

Re: bit torrent client? Firewalled
Norton can also cause problems with bittorrent due to it's Worm Protection "feature." you need to disable this in the norton options. it basically checks for a large number of connections originating from your computer (like bittorrent creates) and tries to stop them, thinking that it's a worm spreading.

Re: bit torrent client? Firewalled
If so, then try stopping all your torrents here and then starting them all.

Re: bit torrent client? Firewalled
With your client open, go to http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and enter the port you are hoping is forwarded, it will tell you if it can "see" all the way through the firewalls and NAT to your client, on the exact path your music files travel. Couldn't hurt!

Re: bit torrent client? Firewalled
I think that URL should be in the FAQ somewhere (unless it already is).

Re: bit torrent client? Firewalled
Yeah, I like that one. It's different from the NAT check one I usually send people to (http://btfaq.com/natcheck.pl)
