Hello,

I've downloaded uTorrent but seem to be unable to login to DHT (whatever this is). The bottom of the interface indicates either "DHT: waiting to log in" or "0 nodes". I have googled the problem and saw a lot about "opening ports". I followed the instructions on one site which had me create a static IP address and forward the uTorrent port within the Linksys router site. When I tested it in the uTorrent port test thing, it indicated that the port was successfully opened. I also made sure to add uTorrent to the exceptions list in Windows Firewall. However, the problem persists.

I am using a laptop with a wireless connection from a Linksys router. I basically know nothing about wireless, networks, or ports and am completely new to torrent use, so if anyone is able to help me I'd really appreciate it, and I'll apologize in advance if I don't understand something.

Thank you,
Keith
