i got as far as that. the settings button is grayed out =(Originally posted by: EmperorIceBerg
Yes Tass you can open ports and it helps tremidously in most cases. Ill try my best to run you through it (Note: Im using Windows XP).
Open your Control Panel>Newtork and Internet Connections>Newtork Connections>Right Click Local Area Connection>Properties>Advanced>Settings&g t;
Ah well after a quick check the problem is easily solved. Simpley 'check' the box above that says Internet Connection Firewall and the settings button will be accessible.
ok..ok...getting closer lol...i got to the edit part, and found out my ip...but theres about 9 different ones i can edit, none of them will let me do anything to their ports, and the numbers are all really low (nothing even close to 6881)
do i have to add new ones? if so, what the "description of service," "external Port number for this service," "Internal Port number for this service," and which bubble do i check -- TCP, or UDP?
hope there are no more surprises! lol thanx btw =)
Oh my mistake you dont hit the EDIT button you hit the ADD button. Sorry. So once you hit the ADD button simple type Port 6881 in Description of service, then put in your IP address, and finally in both External and Internal Ports type 6881 and TCP should be the choice 'checked'. Simpley repeat for ports 6881-6889 and everything should work.
cool, thanx for everything...havn't tried it yet, but i definitly think i can do it when i get home...i'll let you know if i run into a problem, but i think i got it =) ty ty ty!
Do itashimashite
All ports are in, system is go! now that this firewall is enabled, will it prevent me from doing anything? iv heard about games not working and stuff because of firewall protection...not a Huge concern, cuz i could allways turn it off after i use bt...but im just curious
