utorrent setup for vista

[Hokker]

I am using windows vista home and am trying to get utorrent working. I am always showing that I am firewalled and can't figure out how to work it out. I have a modem going to a wireless router. The router is wired to a mac desktop and wired to the previously rmentioned windoze machine and wireless to a mac laptop. HELP!

If using DHCP, your wireless router should assign local IP addresses to all your connected computers.  Usually set to be .100, .101, .102, etc.  In your router's settings, you have to open up the listen port for each local extension.  If you've already covered that and verified that you've opened up the port that the vista machine has been assigned, then you go to your computer's firewall and make adjustments.

Now don't ask me how to do anything in Vista.  This is an OS where the "on/off" button in the start menu puts the computer to sleep.
