under systems status find personal firewall clicked it then clicked configure.new screen comes up then clicked programs looked down and found manual programs then scroll down until i found utorrent looked at internet connection and it was on BLOCK ALL!I changed it to permit all closed out of that and closed out of norton looked at utorrent and GLORIEEEEE BEEEE it was working just the way it was supposed to.Unlike client software that runs in a separate window on your Windows computer, a web torrent client lives in a web browser. for the heck of it went to windows firewall and made sure it was off (for me only! have norton and it conflicked with my winxp firewall ) then went to my norton icon in the tray at bottom of desk top double clicked on it.
only got red bar and tracker stat.-hostname not foundĭHT stat- not allowed then tried to update and said unable to contact utorrent update server.Īnd from there, two days go by with me looking all the stuff up check my port its closed told to go to portfowarding and learn all that!:confused Got accessact dsl and for some reason utorrent would not load. after searching and studying and kinna still confused :confused i decided not to change anything with portfowarding at all. All that achieved was a new virtual IP address and eventually later on last night I had to spend 5 mins and reinstall the Verizon software which was nice and all but it still didn't help my problem, the browser wouldn't let me onto the internet till I had reinstalled something probably was corrupted I don't see how considering the only thing I fooled with was trying to open uTorrent's port and clicking the DMZ Host button to enable it but meh, in any case I am back to where I started I don't know where to start in order to troubleshoot the problem I had this problem a few years ago with Dungeon Siege on Windows 98, I think it was Windows 98, and ironically I think the ISP was Verizon however that was relatively easy to fix. So I tried to port forward via the modem's native Verizon software by typing 192.168.1.1 I'm not even sure if I got it right as the setup is very confusing. So I went to another website and had it run a check on port 38005 it came back that it wasn't responding reason: Connection timed out.
I was confused I have full access to the internet, can update my anti malware programs, and yet I couldn't download Torrents?! So I decided to go to another website to see if I could get a reason why the port wasn't open or responding. The test came back simply telling me that there was a error which didn't help me much. Now towards the bottom of the screen in a small little box on the lower interface a red stop sign when I moused over it it said "Not Connectible there appears to be a problem with your network connection." So I went to Options->Speed Test and decided to check the port I was using the program had picked 38005 when I first started it and so I figured to stick with it. Now I can load the torrent into uTorrent but when it went to start the torrent it download about the first MegaByte or so and then terminated the Torrent with the "Error: Access is Denied" showing in the status tab. I find it odd that uTorrent is the only program so far that suffers. I can also download updates for all my anti virus and anti spyware programs and again I have no problem doing so. I can download files, surf and open stuff on YouTube and similar sites, and I can receive and send mail with Yahoo and Gmail with no problems all of my internet activities are unaffected. I don't know if this helps but I have full internet access. Here's the odd part I have a basic understand of ports and if I remember correctly certain ports are used in order to get to the internet and receive mail and so forth. I have a software firewall (Zone Alarm) and my modem has a firewall built into it's firmware (it's part of the modem's internals). I have a Ethernet cable that goes to the NIC card with no node in between the computer and modem. I have a Verizon DSL modem now it itself is connected directly into the phone jack which goes to the back of the modem directly no filters. OK, I should probably start out with my physical setup. I cannot for the love of everything holy figure out why the port for uTorrent is closed. There all not responding!Īdditional Problem(s): "Error: Access is Denied" on Torrents (possibly a result of the main problem?) Port(s) in question: 38005, and pretty much any other port that uTorrent randomly picks or that I manually pick. Problem Application: uTorrent 1.7.4 (supposedly Full Vista Compatible)
