he has no router . where should he forward ports? on your router ?



ashwa , if your max download speed is 256 kbps, it means that your max download speed is 256/8=32 kByte/s .
as for lights, if you are not connectable, it is red , if you aren't connected to remote users, it is something like yellow . otherwise it is green .
try to open a torrent that has many seeders and many leechers, and wait about 30 minutes . i'm sure that the flag will turn to green .

Put uTorrent and its port in your firewall's exception list...

And in uTorrent - it doesn't turn green right away... With me, that light turns yellow first then it gradually turns green.

I'm not sure how, because I don't use ZoneAlarm Firewall... Try checking out its settings...

[birney29]

are u sure your firewall isnt stopping it and have u tryed just reinstalling utorrent ?

[the mighty tearlezz]

Did you test it by turning the firewall off for a few minutes ?See if it turns green.Zonealarm some times can give you a few connection problems in some bittorent pograms

[BlueLabel]

close your firewall...
whay you need the zonealarm anyway???
are you using both firewalls zonealarm and win XP???
because that's realy make things hard for your computer.
and for the speed.... as fatma said the max download speed is 256/8 what makes it 30 more or less
