Windows 10 and blocked ports

dazza190574 · September 5, 2015, 5:09am

Hi

I previously used a computer with Windows 7 which I then upgraded to WIndows 10 and BitComet ran perfectly.

However, as that computer was really slow I have bought a new one. This had Windows 8.1 which I immediately upgraded to WIndows 10. Since I have installed BitComet I have always had a blocked port, and the UPnP has always failed.

Has anyone any ideas what to do? I have tried changing FIrewall settings using the guides on here, but nothing has worked. I can download data perfectly, but I can share it back.

I am using the latest version, although it is showing as Beta.
ADSL I think, connect using WiFi
Router is a Sky Router, never had any problems with it before so I would assume it’s not that
Only have one active computer and router
Windows 10 64 bit, don’t use their Firewall, use Vipre Internet Security Firewall - again have used it for years and never had a problem
Not that I know of

Hope that helps. As I have said I have used BitComet for years and also used in my old computer with Windows 10. But this new computer just doesn’t seem to like it.

Looks like you are probably blocked by your router, although there is no assurance that you don’t have more than one things blocking your port. You can either try to get uPnP working so it will open your port for you, or manually forward the port in the router yourself. I haven’t done any testing with win 10 yet but a recent member I helped in the spanish forum had a similar problem and we resolved it by enabling uPnP in windows 10 since it seems to be disabled by default. I found him an english link by doing a google search for “enable uPnP windows 10”. If you can’t find instructions that way you can look for the link I found in the spanish section. The posts are translated into english and spanish so you’ll be able to read them, but if I recall it was easy to find. Once enabled you should see a different message besides the “uPnP device not found”. You may also need to enable uPnP in your router for it to work.

If that doesn’t work I’d recommend looking for a guide to forward your port for the router you use. You’ll need the manufacturer and model number.

We also have a nice article on Port Mapping at our bitcomet wiki. I’ll find and post that link here. The other links mentioned I’m sure you can find easy enough.

Thanks, but none of it worked. I’ll just have to wait until more people use Windows 10. But as I have said before, everything worked fine on my old computer. Must be something on this one.

You’re going to have to provide more feedback than “nothing worked” for me to understand what’s wrong. If you want bitcomet to have full internet access then your options are to properly configure your router, or not use one at all. As I mentioned windows 10 won’t allow bitcomet to configure your router for you unless you allow it.

When you install a router you creating a Local Area Network and you are the administrator. Any computers you connect to it aren’t directly connected to the internet so things like file sharing and servers won’t work very well.

You can try our new version 1.40 that was released today, it was updated for windows 10, but I doubt this will help with your problem because you already have bitcomet installed and there are many people successfully running older versions with windows 10.

You can also use bitcomet without an open port, but it will cripple your performance.

For some reason it is working now. I have just loaded up Office Professional and it went through a load of updates, but my port is now listening. So it must have just been that Windows needed to be updated. Thanks for your help though.

The_UnUsual_Suspect · September 10, 2015, 9:06am

Perhaps you didn’t retest the port after you followed my instructions to fix it? When the computer is restarted it will reset the uPnP and retest, that may have been all you needed, but I don’t think “office” had anything to do with it nor any windows updates

Try disabling the DHCP in the router and also try lower ports (in the 15,000 range). You could also try turning on UPNP and maybe with the DMZ disabled. Any or all of a combination of those.

by the way, necro-posting (adding a 'me too' to a long dead thread) is never a good idea. We don't charge for new threads

so i thought id add to this post what i did to make it work… in my router i enabled the IP default traffic to the computer of my choice. then i went to the windows 10 firewall made a TCP rule and a UDP rule but here is where it gets tricky… in the properties for each rule u have to do a few things. go to advanced settings and the property’s of each rule. then make sure its set to all ports and most important allow the edge transversal has to be on… after that bitcomet should register the port mapping and go green… also as stated in an earlier post the network discovery UPNP for windows 10 has to be on as well
