1) telnet to your host on the port 6881 (telnet MYIP 6881) from your host, this will prove that it is listening on the right port. 2) telnet to your host on the port 6881 from another host on the same subnet, this will prove that it's not refusing non-local connections. 3) telnet to your host from a machine outside of your network (I can help out with that if you can't) I just went through the bittorrent fun and games on my Mac with a Netcomm router. I thought I was going mad until I figured out that my mac had the local firewall enabled. 1 worked, 3 didn't and I couldn't figure it out until I did 2. Try those and let us know how you go, it should help us narrow down where the problem is. greeno -- Tony Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
