Hi,
Yes, I did and I also changed WSHR's settings from UPnP to manual port forwarding when I did that. I didn't create 2 separate rules for TCP and UDP as the option enabled me to set the rule for both protocols. My uTorrent is set on UPnP and is running just fine...no issues....
What baffles me is the fact that I disabled both the router's firewall as well as Window's and yet WSHR was still showing behind a firewall....unless it has something to do with the ISP's equipment...I don't know what could cause this. I'm 100% sure the ISP is not blocking the network because if it did, I wouldn't have been able to connect at all...
