I set up a wireless network on my PC to connect our laptop. Long story short: we got rid of the laptop and reconnected our cable connection to the modem. All is well EXCEPT that BitTorrent will no longer connect. Can anyone tell me what I need to correct? I use Zone Alarm but have opened the ports BT uses. Thanks!!

A lot of ISP's are blocking the ports used by filesharing programs, including BitTorrent.

Most BitTorrent clients allow you to change the range of ports used. Try changing the ports to a range like: 58881 to 58999.

Remember to change the forwarded ports in ZA to suit.

Please let us know if you found someone's advice to be helpful.
