Thanks for the clarifications. I selected port 60112 as follows: Azureus needs a port number between 49152 and 65534. My zipcode is 12601. I put 12601 into a shift-register with wraparound. I've thought about setting up a Linux box as a router. I have a spare Dell Dimension L PC. And I was really excited when I first learned of the capabilities of dd-wrt on the Linksys. I'd like to be able to monitor and record dsl modem stats such as margin. I'd also like to be able to do logging of packets to help me debug several problems I'm having. I've looked into doing these on my Westell. I just completed my first BT download (which would not have been possible without your help). It was the Knoppix DVD iso (4.12 GB total). The download took 30 hours, during which time my PC was not usable for any other online activity. (PC is 7-year-old Dell Dimension 4100. PIII with 128 MB RAM running Fedora 7. DSL is budget 768/128. I did limit Azureus upload speed per recommendations.) Once I started Azureus, iptables started logging packets to port 60112. At the end of the download, it had logged 30567 packets! > > > > _______________________________________________ > Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org > > http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug > Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium > > Feb 6 - DBUS > Mar 5 - Setting up a platform-independent home/small office network using > Linux _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Feb 6 - DBUS Mar 5 - Setting up a platform-independent home/small office network using Linux
