Start by providing us with more info.
Vesion of Windows.
Any firewall?
Type of internet connection.
How is your computer connected to this internet connection? Is it a home network with a router for example.

-windows XP SP2,i have windows firewall here, and about my connection... it is a home network without a router. my connection is a wireless broadband.

What is the brand name and model number of that wireless access point?

[jhay_e03]

smart bro (wireless broadband) mmmhhh i dont know the exact wireless access point.

[Deerpark]

I still don't get how you're connected to the internet. Do you get your internet connection through cable, the phone line, satellite or wirelessly through something like Wimax?
What is the exact error message utorrent is giving you and where in utorrent does it appear?
Have you tried the port tester in utorrent? Options --> Speed Guide --> Test if ports are forwarded correctly.
If you fail that test you most likely have a router you need to configure in order for utorrent to work properly.

i have wireless connection.
the error message is "no incoming connection, unless the icon turns green, it could indicate a problems with your network configuration.
and i failed that test.
mmhh... if i get another torrent but this time i will not use utorrent. is there another software like utorrent that i can download for free?

A thorough list of BitTorrent clients.

I doubt you will have much better luck with other bittorrent clients. This smells like a network problem, not a problem with utorrent.

[jhay_e03]

there are several of numbers in the list... what is the better torrent i can get there?

[quaxo]

utorrent.


Like Deerpark said, this probably isn't a problem with utorrent. It's probably a firewall or network setting.

I will not recommend another client simply for the fact some client downloads have spyware/adware and I do not know for sure which do and which don't.

ahh ok, thanks for the help guys...

Yep.
Has he examined his hardware and told us the brand name / model number / anything  about his wireless?     ... maybe I overlooked it.

I did see where he said it is not a router,   but I wonder....      I know one person that insists that the Westell 6100 DSL modem is not a router, because it has only one ethernet out connection.    When I flipped it over and showed that "router" was printed on it,  even that didn't help.   

With that experience,  anything is possible. 

So - I'm wondering if he really does have a router and hardware firewall.

With more info on his stuff,   he could then go to :
http://www.portforward.com     
to see if it is listed there,  for instructions.

The other possibility is that if there are no seeded torrents he is after there will be an error message which he may be misinterpreting...

[jhay_e03]

how do i know if i am connected through router? actually i am not aware with that. and how could configure a firewall or router to connect my torrent? because the message in my torrent said "not connectable, a firewall/routeris limiting your network traffic. you need to open up a port so others can connect to you"

how can i open a port? and what firewall will i configure?

Look at your equipment.   Get the brand name/make/model number/anything you can find   and post it here.
I see above that Deerpark already asked you this.

That's possible.

Perhaps this thread would help him:

jhay_e03:   Read that thread.   Not just that one post, but the whole thread. 
Eventually, you might want to test your download capability that way.
