Topic: Bizarre Firewalling Issue with uTorrent & Windows & Comcast

You might try disabling the Windows firewall service, not just turning it off....

what version of utorrent are y'all running?  I'm still in the dark ages of 1.8.8 (build 14458).  never had a problem and on one private tracker I'm on that is still the recommended version and build.

uTorrent 2.2.1

All is back to normal for me, for now.

one thing you can do to see what port uTorrent is actually trying to do is run a "netstat -na" from the command line - This will list all ports that are in use and what state they are in.

May help troubleshoot.

This command works with Windows, MAC OSX, Linux, etc

Ignore the IPv6 (show up as tcp6, udp6 or with the IP address with colon's ( - IPv4 are tcp4, udp4 IP address octets seperated by dots (.)) ports and also DNS domain sockets that may be listed - so you may have to scroll up a bit

Thanks Richard!  +T

Using that command I see that uTorrent is now actually using the port that I assigned in uTorrent.  If I have that bizarro issue again I will use that command to help troubleshoot.
