12lostcause12 Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 I assume you are behind a NAT router that you have access to (you own it).If the router supports it (check the manual) you should be able to use UPnP (universal plug and play) to get through the NAT router (at this point I should mention I have never done this.). Go to options and select the UPnP entry in the tree. Enabling this should allow azureus to open the ports on the router for you. This will get you arround the problem with the dynamic IP because the IP that the port is being forwarded to is just the IP that azureus is located at.This is azureus' Wiki explaining UPnP and should be the next place to look for more info on the subject.

Sir_Siddy Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 It is turned on but i still getting NAT problemsIv already tried everything in the WIKI but its really not working Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StealthG Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 It is turned on but i still getting NAT problemsIv already tried everything in the WIKI but its really not workingSir Siddy, i have been having the same problem with Azurues ever since I updated it a while back. I have a Linksys router and i have also tried that wiki guide and what not. and its still not working. so i switched over to ABC and my torrents always stay on green now.

Sir_Siddy Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 ill try that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Siddy Posted December 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 no ABC doesnt work either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Siddy Posted December 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 (edited) well i found directions on SBC yahoos support site on how to set up a static IP. Thats the directions on how to do it. From what I understand the router has a set aside certain IPs to be static ips. Well I set my computer over to use one of those ips but then I am not able to acess any sites. I use the specified DNS server and everything. Any ideas why this isnt working?

Pierce Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 You could try using DMZ (DE MILITARIZED ZONE). Its bascially putting you directly on the connection. You will no longer be protected by NAT so youll need to have your firewall enabled.DMZ can be enabled on most routers, check your manual to see how to set it up.Pierce Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wich firewall?Iv been thinking though that ill put my self in DMZ and download a firewall. Do you have any suggestions? I have tried kerio but it doesnt like battlefield 2 very much and crashes alot when I am playing. Very strange Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pierce Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 i like agnitum outpost, and yes DMZ isnt as secure, thus the mention of the firewall.They say though that the windows firewall is fine, and anything else is just extra memory but thats other people.Ive never needed to use DMZ in bittorent, p2p etc etc, because most of this stuff is state-ed, not state-less as your not acting a server.Sorry for the lecture but heres how NAT works. Lets take e-amil. You check your pop mail on port 110, to mail.server.com, your NAT device, usualy an all in one device, says "computer with ip accessed mail.server.com on port 110", mail.server.com comes back on 110 and the nat device knows what computer the orginal signal came from, thus its "stated".However, if your running a server, the nat device doesnt know this, thus you have to set port forwarding, use DMZ or whatever other strategy to get around this, this is because theres no inital state behind the nat, so its state-less.The usage of nat is wonderfull it does violate the RFC of the internet standards, such as that each computer should have its own ip, but it also stops problems such as port scanning, reduces viruses and so on.Thats why people who are directly connected to the internet using their cable modem find they are as vunrable as dialup users, and dsl people feel they are not as vunrable because they usualy have an all in one, with NAT.Pierce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Siddy Posted December 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 (edited) ok thanks for that explanationI had a question about outpost though. are you allowed to open custom ports on the free version. I know on kerio and zonealarm you have to use the pro version to do that. Edited December 26, 2005 by Sir_Siddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pierce Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 i only have the pro, but the free version is so old i wouldnt touch it.BTW, did you try using bitcommet?Pierce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Siddy Posted December 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 No I havnt but I have tried the original, ABC , and a few others as well. All seem to be having the NAT problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Siddy Posted December 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 well I just tried tiny personal firewall but It also wont let me set custom ports when after the trial runs out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
