ismail Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Hi, Since I updated to Windows 8.1 RTM the sync client on Windows unable to find the other clients. I can see in the Linux device log that it finds the Windows machine's IP but the machine doesn't seem to respond. Does anyone have a similar problem? P.S: Disabling Firewall on the Windows device doesn't help. OK the problem was in "Listening Port" was not correctly set somehow, setting a new port fixed the issue.

palmpixis Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I upgraded my two computers to windows 8.1 this weekend and I'm having the same issue. Any fix in the work?I love the bittorent sync. I hope we will get it back on track soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Any fix in the work? As ismail said, changing the Listening Port fixed his issue - have you tried that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmpixis Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I haven't tried that yet. About to do it now. Do I have to change the listening port to a specific number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 not really, just not something you were using before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlinuwe Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I had to change the Port on my Windows 8.1 PC and on my Windows XP PC. After that, the sync with 1.1.82 immediately started. Can someone please explain, why changing the port solves the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Can someone please explain, why changing the port solves the problem?Well, it's likely that your machine had a different IP/MAC address before you upgraded to Windows 8 than it did post-upgrade. As Sync attempts to open a specific port on your router using uPnP, it will have opened a port for Sync which will have been assigned just to the IP/MAC address of your pre-upgraded machine. Post upgrade, you tried using the same port, but your router rejected it as the IP/MAC address didn't match the rule that had been previously configured when Sync was running under a different IP/MAC address (i.e.that port now forwards to a non-existant device) - therefore, simply selecting a new port in Sync resolves the issue!

taylorr Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Will try later today. I have the same issue here and I recalled that I have changed my Windows 8.1 IP to a fixed one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorr Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 No luck. Will try to reset my router in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorr Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 No luck still. 1. Reset the router. 2. Change the port running in my Windows 8.1. Current situation is that: 1. My Linux server and my MBA can still see each other and sync perfectly. 2. My Windows PC can't see either MBA or Linux server. Firewall has been disabled, no success. Restarted the instance of BTS in all my machines, no success. Delete/Re-add the folders, no success. Reinstall BTS in my Windows, no success. All BTS are latest 1.2.82 version.
