First I must say that this site helped me with many themes, so would very pleased with some more answers or links on this matter:

I forward port 57654 for azureus Torrents downloads on my router JAHT EA 2104E. When I tset it with NAT firewall test in Vuze it says:
Quote:
NAT Error - Connect attempt to 84.52.170.240:57654 (your computer) timed out after 20 seconds. This means your port is probably closed.
.
With this port I get only yellow smileys.I previousely used port 6882 with no problems and always green smileys...

When I test port 6882 it says: port 6882 OK!

How can that be? I didn't forward 6882 at all and still connection can get through?
Can someone give me some answers and/or some links on that matter?

Thanks!

It may be that that port 57654 is used by a maliciois program and thus is permanently blocked. If 6882 worked without problems without the need for port forwarding go back to it.
