I installed the new version of FF. (1.5.0.4?) After this, Utorrent has an NAT error icon. Before updating FF it was fine. I tried many different ports, and still nothing. :mellow:

I get this error when I try to check if the port is properly forwarded (after updating FF):


Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.
A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.

Checking port 6889 on 216.*******...

Warning! Port 6889 can not be checked. Your browser is setup to connect through a proxy. This script will not work through proxied connections.

Please see www.portforward.com for more information if you need to map a port.

I've never got this message before :cry: help?

6889 is one of the standard bittorrent ports. Many ISPs will block this port which may be what you are seeing. For this reason many trackers don't allow that port either.

Choose a different port (use the Random Port button) and forward that instead.

Edit: Temporarily turn proxying off in your browser to run the check.

for FF I chose the "direct connection to internet" option

Do you have a router? If so have you forwarded any ports to your computer?
Also have you set up a static IP address?

yea, everything with my router is the exact same as before. Could my ISP be blocking me from downloading?
