Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1.

Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

 Remove your BS firewall rules, re-add them. You may need to do this for each version you wish to use. Make sure both TCP & UDP are both exceptions on the firewall for the ports you wish to clear for it. These may need to be sub-rules under the main BS firewall exception rule. The connection cache will apply depending on version of BS you are using. If your router/modem is using UPnP, then you unfortunately may need to port forward your device is you are using a BS 5.x version. |

| Fantastic! Thanks for letting me know.  I recommend the 5 beta. And best run in forced ultrapeer mode then you get far better results. If the last light to the far right is yellow, hover your cursor over it & what does it say? It might say TCP or UDP firewalled or something. That 'might' be related to your router or software firewall. AFAIK BS 5 does not utilise UPnP to request the router to open listening ports for it. For Windows XP I solved the issue by creating Windows XP Firewall Exceptions for both TCP & UDP exceptions for the port range BS is using. ie: a sub-rule for each since Windows firewall port exception rule appears to default to TCP exception only & not UDP so I made separate exception rules for each. |

| Setup menu -> Options -> Service & check Forced Ultrapeer. Make sure Never become an Ultrapeer is disabled. Oh .. sorry this option is available in the BS 5 beta, not sure about your version. As for the firewalled issue. The problem is either your software firewall or router, or both. Go to Windows firewall -> Exceptions, make sure BS is listed for both TCP & UDP & the port you wish to use. Make sure UPnP is also enabled which will be listed as a separate entity. To remove exceptions from the windows firewall, simply select it & press Remove button. |
