| Guest | Vista/uTorrent/Port forwarding woes Hi, first post here - thought I might try the source. I recently upgraded (clean install) to Vista Home Basic from XP Pro. Now I wrote down all my network settings to re-input them when I was all done. Now I have managed to dig down to network settings and applied a fixed IP address outside my routers DHCP range - There was previously a forwarding rule applied to the router prior to the upgrade which has remained in place. I installed uTorrent 1.7.2, set my listening port to the port I have forwarded on the router. Router is Billion 7300GA Problem is I am continuously getting a red 'x' in uTorrent saying that Firewall/router is blocking traffic. Windows Firewall is off, no 3rd party software firewall and my router does not have a firewall built in - only NAT - which port forward should bypass. Can anyone explain if there is a difference in the way Vista handles these things than to XP. From everything im reading this set up should be fine - but its not... All help is very much appreciated. |
