Can anyone help me?

I'm not being able to get the green light. Already forwarded port 8444 and only get yellow light. I'm on windows 8 x64 runnng 0.35 bm.

Thks
1. Use an external tool to make sure your port is actually forwarded
2. Make sure it's forwarded to the right LAN address
3. Try restarting the router and your computer (if that won't break #2)
4. Sometimes it takes a while to get a green light. Just wait.

1. Very odd results. For bitcoin-qt port 8333, both PFPortChecker.exe and http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ say its open. For Bitmessage port 8444, "yougetsignal" say is closed and PFPortChecker say it open. Both BM and BTC-QT were forwarded with respectives ports. Only BTC-QT works.
2. Yes triple checked it
3. Already did that
4. my BM runs all day long with yellow light so definitely theres something wrong.
