Azureus help

[joe360]

When I test port 6881 I get thie NAT error. What does that mean? How can I fix it?
Also I just got Azureus and can anyone help me conifgure it properly?

You need to open/forward the appropriate ports that BT uses from your router. Typically, I think Azureus uses ports 6881-6889, so those will need to be configured in your router settings.

If you're not using a router, your ISP may have those particular ports closed. You can setup Azureus to use different ports than the default (ie, use ports 15000-15010).

I am using a router, so how would I open/foward the port?

It's different for every brand of router. Read the manual.

Will port fowarding pose any security issues?

Also, what do I select under "protocol"..either TCP, UDP or both?

Find your router model. Make sure you set up a static IP address on the computer you intend to use. If you're not sure about TCP/UDP select both.

What's a static IP?
