How can I fix the 'no incoming connections' problem on uTorrent?

Make sure that your software firewall(s) are open to it. If you are using Windows, then Windows Firewall should have asked when you first ran uTorrent. If it didn't, go to the Control Panel and open Windows Firewall. Go to the list of exceptions and make sure uTorrent is listed. If not, browse to the program's exe and add it. If you have any other firewall program, make sure it is allowed on that as well. If all of this is done, then it must be your network. If you are on a public network, the P2P ports may be blocked because they are sometimes used for illegal downloading. If it is a private network, then perhaps your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is blocking that kind of data transfer. The only other thing is that perhaps your router is blocking it for some reason. Check it's configuration, and make sure that no ports are blocked, and that incoming connections are permitted.


How do you make inbound and outbound rules on windows xp firewall?

Windows Advanced Firewall, turn on outbound blocking and logging ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Windows Firewall with Advanced Security /"Windows Firewall Properties" link - Change all Profiles, Outbound connection = Block - Public Profile tab/Logging/Customize -- Size Limit = 999999 KB -- Log Dropped packets = Yes Comment: Windows 7 Firewall has outbound blocking, but most people don't know that you have to turn it on. When outbound blocking is turned on, it only allows the programs and services you specify to talk to the net. Malware will have a hard time reporting back to their servers. However, it is missing a feature that tells you what it has blocked outbound. So after installing a program that needs to connect to the net, like your antivirus program, you have test those exe files one by one to see which is responsible for talking. ----- Firewall Rules ------ HowTo allow a windows service outbound: Click on Outbound Rules on the left, click on 'New Rule', select 'Custom', next to 'Services' click customize, select 'Apply to this service', scroll and find 'Windows Update', next, ports and protocol - (no change), next, IP addresses ( no change ), next, select 'Allow The Connection'. Checkmark all 3 "Domain", "Private" and "Public". Give the rule a name, eg "Allow service X". HowTo Allow a program outbound: Click on Outbound Rules on the left, click on 'New Rule', Select "Program", next, select "This program Path" and click on "Browse" button, Navigate to program folder and select the EXE, next, select "Allow the connection", Checkmark all 3 "Domain", "Private" and "Public". Give the rule a name, eg "Allow Program X". Outbound/ allow service 'Windows update' Outbound/ allow service 'Windows Time' Outbound/ allow program '\Program files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe' ( Program, This program path, allow the connection ) Outbound/ allow program '\Windows\HelpPane.exe' (Windows Help, fetch more online help ) Outbound/ allow program \Windows\system32\slui.exe (windows activation ) outbound/ allow program <path to Live Messenger> Outbound/ allow program '\windows\ehome\ehshell.exe' (Windows Media Centre) Outbound/ allow program <Mcafee Site Advisor dir>\mcsacore.exe (if you use Mcafee Site Advisor) Outbound/ allow program '\program files\windows defender\msacui.exe' Outbound/ allow program <Firefox/Chrome/Opera, whichever browser you use> Outbound/ allow program \program files\Internet explorer\iexplore.exe Outbound/ allow program '\program files\Secunia\PSI\psia.exe' ( if you are not using Secunia PSI, you should ) Outbound/ allow program '\program files\Secunia\PSI\psi.exe' Inbound/ allow program <Mcafee Site Advisor dir>siteadv.exe Inbound/ allow service 'SA Service' ( Mcafee site advisor )
