Do you have another computer on the LAN, that way you can do a port scan (using something like network tools) of just your computer to rule out some kind of iptable/ipchain firewall, as from what you have said the router sounds to be setup ok. And I did have exactly the same issue first time I installed Azureus on my old Fedora Box.

Thanks to all those who posted replies to my earlier question re Azureus/Bittorrent.

I have Azureus running at reasonable speed now, having port forwarded port 6881 to 49152 both as TCP and UDP, changing Azureus download/upload limits, setting static IP on PC, etc.

Azureus still shows "Blue Smiley" mostly, with the occassional "Yellow Smiley", indicating supposed NAT problems.

I'm pretty sure that everything is setup correctly, but when I try checking ports ( either 6881 or 49152) on sites uch as grc.com (Shields Up) these ports are shown as blocked. I don't believe tht this is correct or else Azureus would not be downloading/Uploading.

I have run Netstat to check open ports but neither 6881 or 49152 show up.

How can I be certain that port 6881 is forwarded to 49152 and that I have no problems with NAT on my modem/router?

Advice please.

Thanks

Bill
