Network UTorrent Issue
Sep 26, 2009
Now to the point of the post. I installed Windows 7 RTM from MSDN when it got out (not sure about the build number, but it is RTM). My problem is that it has this nasty bug as far as I can see.
I use uTorrent for file sharing and so on, but when the bandwidth gets max'ed out, my connection with the router dies. Before you jump out with conclusions and some questions I must add that the router is perfectly set-up, using WPA2-PSK, connecting 3 computers in total. I did not have this issue on XP Pro, I did not have this issue in Vista SP1/SP2 but I do have it on 7 RTM Ultimate.
I do own another laptop with Vista (no SP installed) and it acts the same sometimes but not as often as this PC does. The only solution so far was to restart the router, keep it offline for 10 secs then turn the power back on. Then the router resends IP info and so on and the PC's internet connection works again. My drivers are properly installed and are 7 certified and so on. So as far as I can see, there is a bug with 7 or something. I thought it was because of the max half-open connection settings, but as far as I can see my build has no limitations, only the RCs had so there's nothing I can do there. UAC is turned off, so is every firewall except for the router's which is perfectly set-up.
I do not know what to do more.
IPv6 is also checked out, as I read on another forum that it could be problem (and also the solution for others).
This only happens when using P2P programs (as far as I can tell) because when I download/upload something via FTP clients or Firefox even...it doesn't go offline. This is some weird behaviour.
I also sent an e-mail to Microsoft telling them about this and they simply replied that my version is beta. I did add the fact that my version is RTM (which I remember that stands for 'Release to Manufacturing' which could mean it's a final of sorts) but they haven't replied ever since, totally ignoring the issue (they did tell me that in the RTM this problem was solved - but I couldn't find a single person saying that the final versions of the RC had this bug anymore and still, the RTM has it).
I have also read that first Vista RTM had this problem as well and it was solved in SP1, but the fact is that Microsoft does not emphasize on this matter, did not release any separate fix or info, all they say is that if you install SP1 to Vista then you need not worry anymore.
It is annoying to have issues, and especially pressing issues like this one (I simply can't stand it anymore as I can not even browse the net sometimes because of this bug or whatever it is).

I am having some issues with Windows 7 and my network bridge. I currently have it setup like this...modem -> router -> laptop -> wireless bridge. The problem is whenever I have the bridge enabled, the port I have open for utorrent is blocked. When I disable the network bridge the port is open again. I have the port open on my router so I dont think thats the problem.
When the bridge is disabled, I use a static IP and everything works well. When the bridge is enabled and I use a static IP, nothing works (not even firefox) and if I don't use a static IP utorrent gets blocked but Firefox works fine.
I was running WinXP before I moved to Windows 7 and there was never a problem...I could have the bridge enabled and it wouldn't effect my utorrent at all.

For some reason I am getting very slow DL speeds using Utorrent. It starts up ok, with a reasonably healthy Kbs, then slowly drops down to 1-2 Kbs.I have tried many torrents from different sources as to be sure it wasn't the source of the DL's.I remember there used to be a Tp open port patch for XP, does vista need something similar?

I used to have the occasional problem with utorrent, but now that I have gone to Windows 7, I seem unable to get it to work. There seems to be a firewall problem, so I disabled Windows firewall - which I have read is very good, and I think did allow utorrent - and have now put in comodo instead.
Then I read that if you have a firewall on your router, you do not need to have another one installed as well.
I am now really confused with all this.
Just checked and have at last got a green tick on utorrent - all be it slow, at least it is working whoops, just gone off again.
Any advice on utorrent or the firewall situation would be gratefully recieved.

I seem to be getting BSODs when running uTorrent. This has only started recently. Usually this is when i leave it on schedule mode, set to download overnight. Today I have tested and found that with schedule turned off and uTorrent running, BSODs still occur. I cannot be sure it is uTorrent, but it seems to only happen when it's open and downloading. I am currently running dskchk for bad sectors but as this is a second HDD supplied by the laptop maker. OEM Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I have updated uTorrent in the recent weeks/FONT]

So my system have BSOD'd 5 times today, after reformatting it last month due to multiple BSODing of the same nature. After examining what I've been doing on my system today, it appears that uTorrent may be the culprit, as it only seems to be happening when the application is open. This could be a coincidence though as the blue screens seems to happen sporadically.This is the error that pops up after I reboot.
Code: Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033

Getting a BSOD if I try to torrent something and do something else. If I leave it running on it's own, it can usually complete, unless I am downloading several torrents, then it will crash no matter what. It seems to point to Netio.sys and there is also a driver_irql_not_less_than_equal error. Please let me know what I should do.

I've been getting a series of BSODs on my laptop recently. It appears they only occur while uTorrent is running - which is rather puzzling seeing how I've used it for months without issues and I have made no changes to it recently (it also takes some time after the start of the program for Windows to crash, so I'm not entirely sure uTorrent is really the culprit.)Incidentally I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on my 1.5 years old laptop. Windows came preinstalled and has been reinstalled by the Sony support less than 5 months ago (together with a new HD and motherboard)[CODE]

I am having some trouble with utorrent and getting an open port, I narrowed the problem to either windows firewall or kaspersky 8 or even both. If i disable firewall and kaspersky I can get an open port, but once I turn them on utorrent slows down indicating the port is not open. I have included utorrent as allowed in widows firewall but same problem. Has anyone had same prob or got some advice on what I should try?

Why Bitdefender firewall blocks utorrent port only on windows 7?
I'm using Windows 7 ultimate RTM with all the updates, utorrent 1.8.5 and bitdefender Internet security 2010. The firewall is set to "allow known programs" and utorrent was put automatically on "allow", but if I try a port test it shows that port doesn't appear to be open.
I had the same settings on my windows vista ultimate and the port was always open.

I'm getting BSOD somewhat randomly and frequently. It always seems to happen when I'm running UTorrent and Windows Media Player Classic or several programs at one time. I built my PC so I know it will have more stability issues than a typical PC but I get BSOD more frequently than I should. Frequently the driver at fault is ntoskrnl.exe, tcpip.sys, or ntfs.sys.

I have used the two "Global Upload Rate Limited" settings within uTorrent, they do not work for me.So I installed NetLimiter Pro 3.0.0.11.I used NetLimiter to set an upload limit of 28 KB/s for uTorrent but uTorrent is still uploading at the maximum my connection can handle (which is killing my general browsing speed).

I'm having difficulty trying to get my new Windows 7 pc set up to share files across my existing home (wired) network which consists of 1 desktop pc running WinXP and 1 laptop running WinXP.I want the 'C' drive on each of the 3 computers to be shared. I've had the 2 Windows XP computers set up and working like this for several years without a problem but I can't seem to get the 'C' drive on the Windows 7 computer to do the same.All 3 computers have the same workgroup name and none of them require passwords to log on to Windows. There are no problems with the firewalls on any of the machines.On the Windows 7 PC when I right click on the 'C' drive and select the 'Sharing' tab, I have set this up to be shared and when I click on the 'Advanced Sharing' button there is a tick in the 'Share this folder' box, the 'Share name' is 'C'. If I then click on the 'Permissions' button, this shows a 'Group or user name' 'Everyone' and this group has Full Control, Change and Read boxes ticked. As far as I can see there is nothing more I can do.
However from my Windows XP computer, when I go to My Network Places and double click on the icon for the Windows 7 'C' drive, I get the message "\Computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.The network path was not found"I've subsequently set up a sub folder (of the Windows 7 'C' drive) for sharing by right clicking on the folder, choosing 'Share with' and then selecting 'Specific people'. I then set up a group called 'Everyone' with read/write permissions. Now I can navigate to this folder from my 2 WinXP computers.

My rig uses a Centrino Advanced-N 6230 wireless mini half-card. It reports the correct name except within the wireless network list. Instead of 6230 it reports 6320. I searched the registry to see if I could find the error, but nothing found. It's only a nuisance, and a minor one at that.

Unable to see home network computers in Windows Explorer Network screen.
I have a home network with 2 laptops and 1 desktop. The desktop I use as a "file server" in that all work done on the laptops is stored to the desktop. The desktop computer name is HAL. One laptop is fine and sees the network. The other just stopped seeing it; rebooted the laptop; rebooted HAL; did a number of refreshes without any luck. I opened EXCEL and found a worksheet that was listed that I knew was saved on HAL. Was able to open the file and when I tried the SAVE AS I could navigate through all of HAL just as normal. Went to Windows Explorer and still no HAL listed as a COMPUTER on the NETWORK. I have a internet connection so I know I am making it to the router at least. And when I check NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER it shows an active home network. The laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

This sounds really noobie of me but is it possible to improve local network transfer speed by adding a 2nd network card. I was planning to connect one exclusively for lan transfers and another one hooked to a separate wireless router.
Right now only a maximum of 3 users can stream SD videos off the PC before it gets a little choppy.
The pc in question runs on windows 7 and it's board has built in gigabit, I happen to have a spare gigabit card.

Home network with Wifi and ethernet. Using 3x Notebooks and 3x workstations. One of the workstations (W7 ultimate) keeps changing between Public and Home. When this happens, the internet connection dies. I cannot see other workstations either when on public network. Workstation using wifi. Does the same on cable. When it changes to Public, it disconnects from the internet and I cannot get to the router even though it has the workstation has an IP(DHCP or static). Default gateway and subnet is correct. TCP v4 is being used and nothing else is enabled.
Why is this happening?
- I have tried DHCP as well as Static addresses
- Reconfigured NIC(Netgear WG311T), uninstalled and reinstalled it.
- Removed Wifi connection and re-added it.
- Changed auth type, encryption type and keys to connection
Have I covered everything? The only thing different is that I installed a new router - Duo Plus 300wr. It cannot be the router because all the other notebooks connect to it wireless and so does my iPad, Android device and tablet...so it rules that out?

My problem is windows 7 hangs and freeze when access 2003 server Enterprise edition. This is not a small network, one of the biggest network.i have doubt on individual users on domain. before 2 months we had department wise users mean, for example Accounts@domainname.local. But after we created the individual users like john@domainname.local to all users. this is i believe the cause of problem. When we acess the server via the software it freezed for 5 seconds and then repeat to normal state. And after some time it hangs for 2 minutes.

I disabled my network adapter then restarted and now the adapter is no longer showing up in my network connections. How in the world do I get it back? I have looked at other options (like under the registry which was suggested on a couple of places). I have never seen this happen before. I even reinstalled my drivers and still nothing. How do I enable it again?
