[ravifrequent]

hi,

i have azureus bit torrent client installed in my FC5 linux. when i try to set port '65432' and when i test it i get "Testing port 65432....NAT Error" i tried lots of other ports also. still same error. im clueless now. dont know how to proceed from here.

i have a cable connection with my ISP which connects to my ethernet card of my pc. i don't have any router. they gave a ip address for my pc and now i can used internet in my win xp and my FC5 linux. i even typed these from my linux pc only. but when i test port 65432 it says NAT Error.

please help me

I havnt used torrent in linux & as you dont have access to router or any cable modem it maybe.....

but have checked if your firewall or anything allowing azureus? tried other ports(lower than what u said) in other ranges?

i dont think firewall is running in my linux. also i tried many number for ports but i was unable to achieve it. u have any ideas about it ?

thanx

fedora, by default, allows only SSH in and web browsing...

is anyone working on azureus in linux and which is working properly ???

also
what is the use of the following command? what do i need to put in for published-ip and published-port

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d <published-ip> --dport <published-port> -j DNAT --to-destination <private-ip>:<private-port>

iptables -m conntrack --ctstate DNAT -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -d <private-ip> --dport <private-port> -j SNAT --to-source <published-ip>


there are many wonderful linux software downloads available on net and im unable to use my azureus bit torrent client...:(

Maybe you need to call your cable ISP, tell them you need to setup a VPN (Virtual Private Network) for your own private network so you need their help on configuring port forwarding! I think the problem is, from your ISP's router.
