Need help in Automating & Building a Home Network

@All..

Ok.. i have a new problem along with the previous issue..

I have atleast changed the utorrent port 5 times in the last 5 days. everyday i have to assign a new one. otherwise the green icon in the utorrent window which shows "Listening to all Incoming connections" wont show. it shows a orange exclamatory icon showing the message change the listen port.

then i have to remove it and forward a new port... whats the problem here??

god i am such a noobie... :(
 
Hi All....

I was a idiot...i feel ashamed to be a software engineer...Lolz...

I found out the issue at long last...

Well...here goes..

In my WHS the utorrent is installed as a service..so each time when i start the Windows the utorrent is running as a background service..

Each time when i give a new setting, here the new port, the new instance of the utorrent will have the new port and it will work with the green

icon. and on the next restart the service will also be using the same settings i gave last time. but if i opened a new utorrent window the icon will be red.

red denotes some process is already using the same port.

here the service is already using the port. thats why. :). when i set the webui setting i should have realised the webui is the only way i need to use the interface.

so now everything works fine. :)..

been testing for the last 3 days. its working...now my WHS setup is all done.

I set up my old canon ip1000 printer to it. so the WHS acts as my print server too. my dad's been complaing about having to

go to local cafe coz i said no printer driver not Windows 7. ;). I only needed WinXP driver in my WHS. and shared it.

Now its available to all the Systems in the home network. dad can print from downstairs from his laptop. he was impressed...

he thght it was something big. it only took me abt 10 mts. :D....

So thnx all for the great inputs and help...and this brings end to both my network threads... :)

I am thinking wether i should put all my experince into a thread.sort like preview/tut of my small network tango... :D
