addr Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I can't connect with Ktorrent. AMD 64, Mandriva 2008, two computers hard wired to a router which as far as I know has no firewall set up. One computer has a Windows partition and the router disc was used but nothing set up. Does Mandriva have a native firewall which I may have set up on installation a year ago and forgotten about? Guarddog is not installed. Ktorrent seems to set up correctly but doesn't download...as if being blocked. All plugins have been enabled. My connection is a fixed IP. Don't know what to try.

medo3891 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Of course Mandriva has a firewall, shorewall. You can open the ports used by ktorrent in the Mandriva control centre>security>set up personal firewall>Advanced. Follow the examples there. If that doesn't work then disable the firewall all together and see if it works. Also you need to forward those ports in your router settings.

scarecrow Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 If you're trying to download from private trackers, the usual port range 6881-6889 is blocked to most of them (if not all). You have to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
