re:CIS version 5.0.16 and utorrent

Re utorrent, I have some download/upload ability, but the the icon is still yellow in utorrent (no incoming connections). My download speeds are less than stellar,
I ran utorrent’s set-up guide “network test function” but I failed that test.

My conclusion is that my firewall could be causing the problem. The thing is I couldn’t find any guide(setting up CIS for utorrent) about doing this in version 5.0.16, all that I get is from version 4 and lower.

I’m a novice in using COMODO firewall please help.

The Version 4 should work for Version 5 of CIS

There are two points where the incoming traffic may fail. That is at the router and at the computer.

Can you confirm with 100% certainty you have the required ports open in your router?

To start on the computer’s side. What are your firewall settings? Can you show us a screenshot of your Global Rules and the application rule you made for uTorrent?

Yes, Jacob is right.
I am using these rules…

Firewall-> Network Security Policy-> Predefined Policies ->ADD (over on the right)

Give a name at the new Predefined Policy…for example: utorrent

Add the following rules:

Rule 1
Action = Allow
Protocol = TCP or UDP
Direction = In
Description = Rule for incoming TCP and UDP connections
Source Address = Any
Destination Address = Any
Source port=A port range=(start port = 1025 / end port = 65535)
Destination port = the port of utorrent …13653

Rule 2
Action = Allow
Protocol = TCP
Direction = Out
Description = Rule for outgoing TCP connections
Source Address = Any
Destination Address = Any
Source port = A port range=(start port=1025 / end port = 65535)
Destinati port=A port range=(start port = 1025/end port=65535)

Rule 3
Action = Allow
Protocol = UDP
Direction = Out
Description = Rule for outgoing UDP connections
Source Address = Any
Destination Address = Any
Source port = the port of utorrent …13653
Destina port=A port rang=(start port= 1025 / end port = 65535)

Rule 4
Action = Allow (enable Log as a firewall event if this rule is fired)
Protocol = TCP
Direction = Out
Description = Rule for HTTP requests
Source Address = Any
Destination Address = Any
Source port=A port range=(start port=1025 / end port = 65535)
Destination port = 80

The only change I made was to remove ‘ask’ from rule 4,
making it an allow rule, but keeping the logging on.

Rule 5
Action = Block (enable Log as a firewall event if this rule is fired)
Protocol = IP
Direction = In/OUT
Description = Block and Log All Unmatching Requests
Source Address = Any
Destination Address = Any
IP Details = Any

3. Start utorrent. 
When Comodo asks you with a popup, 
choose... Treat this application as... select... utorrent 
and enable ....Remember my answer.
