If you are running a router between your box and a broad band connection then that's probably the case and it might be blocking the port being used by the bittorrent client. If you have the firewall settings in Mandriva set too high that will also block the port. I have run Azureus in both windows and Mandriva, but have gone back to using bittorrent version 4.0.1. Its running as I'm typing. If you want to have a look at alternatives go to www.tucows.com They have windoz and Linux software/ shareware -- Guy Fualks - The only man to enter the houses of Parliament with honest intentions, (he was going to blow them up).
