Re: Firewall Question

Well, I think most universities have some sort of firewall. You can do a NAT and find out, or you can start to download something off of etree.org and if you see yourself listed on the peers list with your port number in red brackets, then you are firewalled.

There really isn't much you can do about it, however.

Re: Firewall Question

Rather than start a new thread...



...I'm showing up as firewalled whilst I have uTorrent open, yet the standard windows firewall is set to allow uTorrent through. I'm tethered to my phone, therefore not running through a router. CanYouSeeMe.org can't see me. Have run speed tests and am achieving .86Mbs up, and 4.75Mbs down. Any ideas?

I'm running Windows7 64 bit, and uTorrent 3.1.3.

Perhaps I should start a new thread to get my query noticed...

Re: Firewall Question

Well, this is a seven year old thread.... could you even tether to your phone back then?

I have no advice since I don't have a phone that does data. I still have a pay-as-you-go phone that is only a phone (oh, I think it has a camera too).
