What is the incoming TCP listen Port in Azureus?

[Boggabelle]

I am installing bittorrent in the form of Azureus for the first time and it asks to test the incoming TCP listen Port. When I push test it says "NAT Error". I would guess that has something to do with my network card, which is integrated. I don't know what to do so if anyone has any advice I would be happy to hear it.

By default Azureus uses port 6881. If the test gave you a message about a NAT error, then you need to forward the specific port to your router and firewall. Check this thread for guidlines how to do this.

Well I did everything it said, but now instead of a yellow face I now get a blue face. It says the tracker is down, I have no Idea what that means.

The tracker is what monitors the connections between the peers within the specific torrent. If the tracker is down then you wait a while until the tracker comes up again or shift to another tracker to download the torrent. Without the tracker active you can't get connections to the other peers.

Btw, if you double click the download, what is the error message next to the tracker?

If you really want the download to start and get done just click the force download button but if u don't mind waiting I advise you to not click on it as the downloads don't get time to allocate and other stuff.

He said the tracker is down. I don't think the torrent is gueued.

I've tried to do everything in this post, but when I went to make a program exception in Windows Firewall and it said "Not Monitered" where it usually says "on" or "Off". I'm assuming that's because I got a new modem (DSL, Verizon, it's a Westell WireSpeed Dual Connect Modem) and a new firewall (Sygate Personal Firewall, Freeware), which moniters itself. I have told the firewall to allow Azureus to access the internet but I don't know how to tell it which port to allow, and I still get a NAT error. I didn't have a problem with the firewall before with Dial-Up but now the modem is blocking the connection, I think. I've even tried to re-instal Azureus and Download the Update but nothing is working.

Start your own thread, and post this, and I will give you the answer.
