kluelos Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Both messages are because a firewall is blocking the listen port, the "can't connect" because TCP is blocked, the "DHT not connected", because UDP is blocked. Open the listen port in your firewall, and set a rule that allows BitComet through permanently on that port. If you have a router, it probably has a built-in firewall. If so, 1) that's all the firewall you really need, so get rid of the software firewalls, and 2) you'll have to forward a port through the router's firewall. See portfoward.com for instructions.
