firewall problem
I had to re-install the pc.
And now I’m having trouble with the firewall. The light is yellow and the download is slow. os: windows XP pro, service pack 2, virusscanner: Norton, router: Develo Windows firewall, turned off Norton virusscanner: just the part for the email scanning is on. The router: ports 6881-6889 are forwarded. (This was already ok before the re-install, and I didn’t touched the configuration.) I believe I did everything correct to get the green light. (I had this before the re-install.) Does someone have any ideas? Every help is appreciated. Bieke No members have liked this post.

Re: firewall problem
i believe you also need to open port 6969 so your client can talk to tracker...

Re: firewall problem
You don't need to open port 6969.
Have you tried restarting your router (usually power it off for about 30 seconds and then start it again)? Try a very well seeded torrent and see if you can get a green light there (not every torrent rates a green light). Check your local IP for your computer (terminal, ipconfig I believe) and make sure it is the same number that you forwarded the ports to in your router software.

Re: firewall problem
I restarted the router, deleted all the forwarded ports, and forwarded them again. Checked if they were the right ports, ip adress.
I use Bit Tornado 0.3.10. Even with the windows firewall off, i forwarded the ports, made the exceptions, I know this isn't needed. There must be an other reason i stay behind this firewall. No members have liked this post.

Re: firewall problem
Is this for only this site or all sites?

Re: firewall problem
It's on all the sites.
And the trouble isn't only for Bit torrent. I'm a frequent user of Direct Connect, here i've the same firewall problems, i can't use that prog as an active user, only as a passive user, what means i'm behind a firewall. Bieke No members have liked this post.

Re: firewall problem
I would bet money that you haven't configured your firewall properly. Maybe you could post a screen shot of the set up window and we could take a look at it.

Re: firewall problem
Found the solution! Have the green light!
And what a mistake I made! Making sure everything was ok, I forgot to correct a setting in the router, the ip of the host...that changes with a new installation. Thanks anyway, for the help. Bieke No members have liked this post.
