By default, UPnP port mapping is enabled in BitComet.Īlso you need to make sure that UPnP is enabled on your Windows OS or if it's not or you're not sure, you can configure/verify that at Windows UPnP panel as shown below in this guide. The problem with Universal Plug and Play is that it's not supported by all routers, and different/incompatible implementations of the UPnP protocol are included in many routers. Fortunately many routers support Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), which simply allows BitComet to open and forward a port on the router automatically, without user intervention, then close the port when it is done being used.

Software firewall configuration (the one residing on your computer) is discussed in the next topic ( Create Firewall Rules).Īs with software personal firewalls, there are a wide variety of routers available, and because of the sheer number, it is impossible to include port forwarding instructions for each router model in this user guide. In this topic we will discuss the configuration of the router (port forwarding) both automatic (through UPnP) and manual, to the end of opening a port in your router's firewall and forwarding it on the setup page of your router, for BitComet. Namely, you'll probably have to configure your router and/or firewall(s) in order to open the listening port of BitComet. But if you are behind a router or use Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or you are behind a firewall, you might need to make some adjustments before you get rid of the infamous yellow light and BitComet works as intended. To get the best speeds, BitComet needs an open listening port, just as most other P2P applications do.

Short of contacting your ISP to ask if there is a possibility to get full Internet connections on the same device or changing your Internet subscription plan for one that has incoming connections unfirewalled by default (all xDSL, cable or FiOS providers usually offer unfirewalled connections), there is nothing you can do on your side to unblock incoming connections, therefore there is no point in following this guide or any other port-forwarding guide, for that matter, because you will still have incoming connections blocked on all your ports! Note: If you are connected to the Internet through a wireless modem (usually a USB stick) which uses mobile phone wireless telecommunications technology (such as GPRS, EDGE, EVDO, HSPA, UMTS, etc.) most likely your Internet connection will be firewalled at the ISP site by default (so you basically get only half of an Internet connection, without the possibility of successful incoming connections).
