| To get the best speeds, BitComet needs a open listening port, just as most other P2P applications do. But if you are behind a router or use Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or you are behind a firewall, you might need to make some adjustments before you get rid of the infamous [[bitcomet_status_bar|yellow light]] and BitComet works as intended. Namely, you'll probably have to configure your router and/or firewall(s) in order to open the listening port of BitComet. In this topic we will discuss the configuration of the router (port forwarding) both automatic (through UPnP) and manual, to the end of opening a port in your router's firewall and forwarding it on the setup page of your router, for BitComet. Software firewall configuration (the one residing on your computer) is discussed in the next topic ([[create_firewall_rules|Create Firewall Rules]]). | To get the best speeds, BitComet needs a open listening port, just as most other P2P applications do.

| Sometimes, UPnP Auto Port Mapping just won't work. Be it from an incompatible UPnP flavor on your router or an incompatibility between your Windows version's implementation of UPnP and the one on your router or between the UPnP mapper of BitComet and any of the former. | Sometimes, UPnP Auto Port Mapping just won't work.
