Hi guys,

I've moved to a new house and have just got virgin internet installed and have been given a Netgear wgr624 v9 router. However, since moving I just can't get utorrent to connect to the listen port.

I have changed the port from the default to 65534, forwarded that port on the router, turned off the router's firewall, added my IP as a DMZ, turned off NAT filtering, UPnP and my software firewall (Eset smart security) and it won't bloody connect.

Does anybody have any more ideas?

It's better to have NAT on also with utorrent there is an option to use upnp which if that is enabled on your router can sort your problem out.
