Ghostwall + uTorrent/p2p apps

[Comp01]

How can I setup ghostwall to allow utorrent, Shareaza and ares? Works fine if I disable the firewall, but as soon as I enable it, nothing, so how would I go about adding the rules for it?

I believe the rule you should create is:

Protocol: TCP (some p2p may also need UDP)
Local ip: any
Local port: any
Remote ip: any
Remote port: port number here

For Shareaza I believe teh port is 6346. For uTorrent you have to check its settings to see what ports it uses.

you've probably sorted this out already but,

description: utorrent
protocol: TCP/UDP
local IP: any
local port: the port specified in utorrent for incoming connections. mine is 20005. randomizing the port is not recommended
action: allow
direction: incoming (if you don't have the default 'allow all outbound' rule you'll have to make this both)
remote IP: any
remote port: any

basically you need to allow all incoming udp & tcp to utorrent's port and allow all outgoing udp & tcp from utorrent to anywhere

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem with utoorent and ghostwall.

I have tried the settings listed above but to no avail.

I know my port is forwarded correctly on my router as as soon as I set ghostwall to "allow all" and check the port with utorrent it is fine, but then when I revert back to the rule utorrent says no again.

I only have the standard install rules running on ghostwall, could this be an issue?

Any help or ideas would be very appreciated.

Cheers

Did you make sure to place the utorrent rule above the Block all rule?

Cheers for the reply.

I continued playing with it after I posted and only after staring at the screen for a bit did I spot the up and down arrows and thought "I wonder!!"

All working now so I'm happy. Utorrent is still showing an error when I run its port tester, but it is uploading now so I'm not going to worry about it.

Still having problems accessing my bank (www.halifax.co.uk), and my hotmail account through outlook, and also the live mail site. Not sure yet if its ghostwall, or the fact I am now running on xp64? Gonna have to do a bit more investigation on that and possibly ask for help here later on if I can't get anywhere.

Cheers again.

edit : sorted that now too, had to tinker with the mtu seeting.
