How do u get connected? Do u dial out an icon? Or do u switch on the modem to establish connection?

Am speaking about this icon µTorrent - The lightweight and efficient BitTorrent client - FAQ

i switch on modem .. thats it.. n its showing RED.. wot to do .. ?? in xp it was green..

If it was showing green in windows xp, your router has already been port forwarded.

I have uninstalled Windows 7 so will be unable to guide u

BTW u are on pppoe mode.

its okay dude.. i should have not installed win 7..

go to control panel home... than go to security.. and click on allow a program through firewall.. see the middle tab.. EXCEPTION... CHEERS... :lol:

Oh comeon, dont loose hope. Wait till others see this thread and input their valuable suggestions.

BTW please checkout the method posted by Mr.Tooth Fairy

by port forward(PF), u mean utorrent or other programs port forwardin
and that ur net is working fine in win7, if so

Go to Windows firewall -> allow program/feature(common) ->

next if utorrent or any program u want to PF, is already on the list and if unchecked, check the box beside its name column. if program not there then add that by allow another program(u nedd admin privileges to change settings).
if this for utorrert, check for both incoming and outgoing.

there are two types of networks in win7 public and private, check the box against the program (utorr, ...) in the public, or private column(which ever network ur on)

thank u guys.. i got it.. thanx for the help..

atleast tell how u got it..so tht anyone else will have problem and search for it in this thread they will get answer..
