When I try to open BITCOMT I see the above message. After I select OK Bitcomet will launch but will not connect to server. All I see in the bottom left hand corner of page is "Connecting to server"

Have you opened the poprt in your router and firewall?

Hi, What is a POPRT?

Hi

Have just checked Firewall and Bitcomet is allowed through. 

I am using Version 1.51. I have uninstalled and reinstalled

Like Rhubarb said, you not only have to allow BitComet through any and all firewalls, but also through your router.

Hi,

 

I have been away with my laptop. Before I went away I had MO problem with Bitcomet- When IO tried to use when away on holiday it did not work. Hence my initial query on this Forum.

One of the replies mentioned that I had to ensure tat the router allowed Bitcomet through. I of course thought that the problem was with the router I was using  when on holiday. Now that I have returned I receive the same error message, ie can not isten to port 11303, 11303 ( udp) and All I see in the bottom left hand corner of page is "Connecting to server"

You probably need to set up port forwarding to a fixed IP number. To do this you will need to go to network properties and set up a manual IP number in TCP/IP v4 (usually something like 192.168.0.### where ### is any number between 2 and 255, but it may also be 192.168.1.###). You will also need to set up manual DNS - you can get your ISP dns by typing ipconfig in a command prompt (this will also tell you the address of your router which wull let you know the first three numbers of the internal IP)
