Bittorreent Client help

[Uzumaki Mitch]

I am saying at my fathers house and I downloaded bittorrent and a client (well two now) and went to download something.When I do it comes up but nothing downloads, while every so often a message comes up about router/firewall, which would be ok but I don't know how to edit the firewall settings on my fathers PC r if he even has it turned on, please help -_-

[Thaliel]

which firewall would it be? Cuz I only know how to do things in Norton.

[dar]

yea.. which firewall are you using?

to be able to dwonload.. you must reconfigure the settings of your firewall.. to allow certain programs access to the net..

I am not sure exactly what firewall it is, I am not sure how to check, but I tried disabling it and it still doesn't work.

[Thaliel]

NEVER completely disable a firewall, not even for a short time!

[Uzumaki Mitch]

Uh, eh, I knew that he he....
Oh and MSN doesn't work at all either, just saying that as the two things may be connected....

Well, if you put your cursor over the firewall icon or open the program it should tell you what type of firewall it is. Like Norton, McAfee, ZoneAlarm, Outpost, etc.
You also need to configure your router if you have one.
