    I have uTorrent allowed through the application filtering part of the firewall, but the port is still not being forwarded. I have it also set to be allowed to connect. It works fine with LnS off so I know its not the router.

    I figured it out. I added a rule to internet filtering to allow uTorrent inbound and outbound connections on any port. The configuration is attached below. Can I get some insight on if I did it right?

    Hi,

    first of all go to uTorrent Settings >> Connections, and copy&paste port from box: "Port used for incoming connections"

    OK, for example - in uTorrent "Port used for incoming connections" you have set up port 33123.
    You need two rules. So your rules in LnS should look like these:
    - for TCP connections:
    lns_tcp_utorrent.jpg

    - for UDP connections:
    lns_udp_utorrent.png


    Also because this port (33123) is related only for uTorrent you can define the application which will be trigger for these rules. To do this you have to click "Applications..." button in both rules (TCP and UDP) and choose from list uTorrent:
    lns_udp_utorrent_app.png

    Alright Ill take a look when I get home and have my external with me.

    I have another question about activation. I have put my email and activation code in and hit activate. The homepage says some options will open up. What options open up? When I hit activate the email disappears and the code stays there. When I reboot, both are gone. Is this normal?

    It's not normal - it happened to me once (email desappears) when I entered wrong code (one digit I entered wrong accidentally).
    About options open up, I'm not sure here so It will be better if Frederic clarify it for you.

    Before you put the activation code in it says:

    That leads me to believe some settings arent available in the trial.

    Im home now with my external HD. I followed the exact layout you have in your images and I get a red connection in the bottom of uTorrent.

    Did you click after created rules Save button then Apply button? Can you paste/screenshot here logs from LnS?
    Did you restart uTorrent?

    Yup I did all that and I have logs disabled I believe.

    I can post the screenshots. The ports are in there and they came straight out of uTorrent.

    Strange, OK then can you do just screenshot of your Log tab in LnS (there should be logs no matter if you have logs enabled - save to txt file - or disabled) during using of uTorrent?

    These are only uTorrent connections. I cleared the log and started a download with uTorrent and this is what I have. I know what opendns is. I have it configured in my wireless router at home.

    Your log looks OK since ICMP entries are normal when you're using torrent software, have a look here:

    I don't see from your logs any reason why uTorrent doesn't work for you, but I'm new in LnS and I'm still learning how it works, so maybe wait for response from more experienced person.

    In Internet Filtering, there is a rule 'Block incoming connections'.
    Your TCP rule for uTorrent (and port 33123 as example) must be placed before that rule. Because rules in L'n'S are applied from top to bottom.
    Also you need to add a port forwarding entry into your router for port used for incoming connections in uTorrent (33123 as example).

    No, during the trial period all features are available.
    Actually this message applies after the trial period, where some features are disabled (Application Filtering, and Advanced Options).

    Ok thanks. I got this from a guy who won it here and he didnt want it and I was hoping to try it out. I have to wait on him for his email address so I can register it.

    I dont see a block incoming connections rule in the internet filtering tab.

    Are you talking about the rules for TCP: Any other packet and UDP: Any other packet? Both of the rules for uTorrent were at the very top.

    Port Forwarding isnt an issue. I have my router port forwarding disabled. Its just a straight SPI firewall with allowed programs that either A) get all network access or B) get no access at all.

    Well, I don't know did you change default rules, but there should be rule 'TCP: Block incoming connections' (at least in EnhancedRulesSet.rls).

    Right now I don't have L'n'S installed, but from my memory, with Enhanced rules and TCP rule for uTorrent (as described before by Creer) placed before 'TCP: Block incoming connections' and UDP rule for uTorrent placed before 'UDP: Any other packet' I had port forwarded properly.

    Ok I see it in the enhanced rule set. How do I make sure the standard rule set is default again? Just to make sure I didnt delete something I should have.

    EDIT- After checking through what was said this is what I have so far.

    Did you take the screenshots with uTorrent started? Because rules for uTorrent aren't active.
    I assume port is still not being forwarded properly?

    No they werent taken with uTorrent active, but they still arent being forwarded properly.

    As soon as I take the port number out and only have 1 rule it works. If I add the port to that rule and allow traffic both ways it doesnt work. Heres how its currently setup:

    Heres the setup. I uninstalled LnS and reinstalled it. Im on the wall between LnS and Windows FW in Win7.

    I attached the screen capture. If I change ethernet type to IP it doesnt work.

    You certainly don’t want to be using such a rule with ‘Ethernet : type’ set to ‘All’, either specify IP or IPv4.

    And change 'IP - Protocol' to ‘TCP or UDP

    If you have an seperate uTorrent rule to authorize UDP packets, .. remove it, let just the one do both. :)
