My BitComet program says “DHT not connected” down the bottom next to what used to be a green circle dot. I have checked Preferences and i definatly have ‘enable DHT network’ ticked.
Does anyone know why Bitcomet would say “DHT not connected” down the bottom of the window?
Does dht read not connected on all of your torrents?
dht (distributed hash table) is a secondary means of tracking the torrent.
It can bypass the tracker by allowing each peer to perform its function.
In order for dht to be connected, the tracker has to allow dht, and you have to be connected to peers that have enabled dht.
If at least some of your torrents show dht connected then it is working properly.

I’ve tried other torrents and they all say “DHT Not connected” and the light next to it is still grey. I have checked Windows XP firewall settings and its setup to exclude my Bitcomet listen port for both TCP and UDP.
I don’t see why DHT is not connecting. It works in Utorrent.
Go through out settings guide to double check your settings and understand others. Are you using anything other than windows firewall?

same problem. green light at the bottom of bitcomet is off. “DHT not connected”.
DHT works with uTorrent so it cannot be my firewall settings.
please help? this never occurred in previous versions of BC.
Check the rule for BC in your firewall. Some firewalls view upgraded versions of programs as compleatly different programs that need new rules.
I have the exact same problem. I have installed only one version of Bit Comet and everything is definitely good to go with the firewall but I’m still getting the “DHT not connected”

It occurs the same with me.
It occurs the same with me.
SAME THING IS HAPPENING WITH ME, AND IT MAKES ME SAD!
DHT is not a neccesity for downloading, and it won’t always even help

You have a firewall blocking Bitcomets UDP connections
It could be a software firewall(ZoneAlarm,Norton,etc) or your routers firewall(Dlink,Linksys,etc) or your ISPs firewall

Any way to fix this if thats the case? Because I think mine is Linksys!!?? Helppp, please
Goto http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm
find your router or one similar then select Bitcomet and follow the instructions to forward Bitcomets port for TCP and UDP
What antivirus / firewall do you have on your computer???
Ok, due to sooooo many users asking about this issue. I’ve constructed a FAQ on it. Bitdave is right about UDP, our DHT Nodes do harness UDP ports.
Please head here: DHT not Connected
I just did an edit on the DHT FAQ entry. 
Nice Point about the Windows Firewall, thanks Dark Shroud!
Your post was good I just did a little fine tuneing thats probably not even noticeable in addition to my Windows Firewall stuff. I plain to add just a little more info about DHT was well.
