anybody?

do you have a router?

if so... you must open your port over there. not in your firewall.

how to open a port in your router:

-go to your router.

-go to option: virtual server. there you can open ports

-use "port type" (e.g port:) PPTP

-insert your listing port: look in bitcomet what listing poort your using: /options > connections

-select TCP

-type your pc's ip-adress

and your done...

every router has a diffrent setup. but this information will do enough.

you also have to disable UPnP mapping. otherwise bitcomet resets your open ports on you router

-how to:

options> connections

port mapping: enable UPnP port mapping

well, i hope this will help you out!!

thanks but ive already done that and still no green light

at first the port forwarding instructions worked for me, and then a few days later i restarted the comp and noticed i was blocked. i checked that everything was ok in all my settings, and just like in your case, everything seemed in order. then i noticed my router had the option checked off so it could function as a DHCP server or something, but since i only have the one comp on this router, i figured i didnt need it, so i disabled that. then i went to bit comet and right-clicked on the yellow light and on check again - it came back as good! see if this works for you.

my port for my computer shows up as Com10, which can not be added. Any ideas?
