i disabled windows firewall and all possible programs that could have firewalls, yet all P2P and torrent programs think i have a firewall enabled, maybe its my router or modem, can anyone tell me how to fix this? Or even how to detect what firewall i may have? I already disabled my router firewall by the way and went to portforward.com and created access ports for my programs, after this, it usually fixed the NAT but not this time, it just happened out of the blue. So i dont know where the firewall is coming from, all else i can say is that i have verison dsl and skyrocket voip.
THANX

How many programs have you got that 'could have firewalls'?? Different softwares don't run around with firewalls with their pockets!!!! As per your question, I think your anti-virus or anti-spyware is preventing the usage of p2p software. Check it out.

First check with your ISP if they allow p2p.
If they do then try and detect the firewall from a Sw that scans applications and processes running on the system. From here you can disable the firewall. Download a program here:

However, if this does not solve your problem, reinstall your OS. Some files could have been deleted or gone corrupt due to which you may not be able to connect to p2p services.

maybe your p2p or torrent program not true about your firewall being enabled, I once use bitcomet and the tips in it said that sometime the program arent true in judge weither the firewalls are being enabled when you have uninstall all your firewall program and thats mean you dont have any firewall enebled

Your router IS a firewall. You'll need to forward the torrent ports on the router to your machine's internal IP address.
