Vista - Cannot Open Port For uTorrent

Dear All, I haven't been able to open port for uTorrent. I even followed the step-by-step instruction at:

How to Open Port for Torrent Downloading - Video

and I still can't get my uTorrent to show me the GREEN TICK.

I am using Vista Home Edition, with Motorola SBV5121 and Linksys WRT54G2. Norton 360.

I was able to open port for my old Motorola SBG1000i (with built-in router). But ever since I changed my modem/router, I could never get my port open.

Please help and advise what I should do next. Thanks much.

please check your firewall swttings my friend

Hi Bankerrahul,

Thanks for your reply. My Windows Firewall is off. I even attempted to untick the following in my router firewall's setup:

Block Anonymous Internet Requests
Filter Multicast
Filter Internet NAT Redirection
Filter IDENT (Port 113)

I have also untick the following in Norton's Firewall - Traffic Rules:

Default Windows File Sharing

Nothing's changed. It's so discouraging. I don't know what I did wrong.

Silly me. The red icon in uTorrent is actually the LISTENING PORT ERROR. Not about PORT. After googling, I found out that the solution is simply to delete the SETTING file, and restart the programme. It worked. I have the GREEN icon now.

Thanks.

HI Rkrap

i have the same problem and i was folowin your solution but i don't find the SETTING file.Please can you help me ( by the way i checked the Utorrrent file in Programms files and i didn't find the SETTING file ) plzzz

Hi Masplong00,

Delete SETTINGS.DAT and SETTINGS.DAT.OLD from the HIDDEN username\AppData\roaming\uTorrent with uTORRENT closed.

Please note that you'd have to re-setup some of your settings when you restart uTorrent.

Hope it works for you.
