and in Utorrent Add Utorrent to windows firewall exceptions (for Sp2) this should be Disable or enable
You will also need to forward the port in your router; this may be where the problem is coming from. If your router has UPnP enabled, that would link up with your p2p app in regards to the Port, but would leave CFP out of the loop on it.
Normally, users have the red light the other way around; your case is odd in that respect.
What we want is:
Port forwarded through Router (no UPnP).
Port defined in CFP’s Network Monitor for Inbound traffic (in position Rule ID 0).
Port defined in uTorrent configuration (no UPnP).
uTorrent set as an Allowed application in CFP’s Application Monitor; you need to make sure it has a rule for both Out and In connections.
You should not need to configure uTorrent to work with WinXP FW, provided that you have it disabled.
It is generally recommended to disable UPnP (starting with the Windows Service for such) as it is considered to be a security risk.
If I may just add a footnote to LM’s comment here. Disabling UPnP on it’s own doesn’t resolve the issue: you need to disable SSDP Discovery Service as well since port #1900 will remain open if the latter service continues to run.
I don’t know if you have the option on your router (I don’t), but port triggering is superior to port forwarding. See: Port Triggering vs. Port Forwarding
for more info. If you must rely on port forwarding, the ports used stay open and become a security hazard. In my case, I have to remove the router’s forwarding option after any torrent sessions.
I’am from Bulgarian! This problem is too easy!
0:allow tcp/udp(in/out) any any
1:allow IP Out any any IP details GRE
2:allow ICMP Out any destination IP (dnsIP) ICMP details(echo recquest)
3:block IP in/out any any any
4:block ICMP in/out any any any
You’ve opened your computer up a very bad way with your Rule ID 0. You have another post regarding the rule details you used to resolve your p2p application problem, but you have done it incorrectly, I am afraid.
By not specifying a Destination Port, you are allowing unsolicited Inbound traffic access on absolutely any port. Basically, by creating the rule the way you have, you are completely disabling all Inbound protection the firewall offers. This is not good.
Since you have to create an Inbound rule at the top of Network Monitor to Allow the connection for your p2p application, you need to specify the Destination Port for that rule, to help control the access.
