Hello all. I'm new to this board and I'm currently trying to download some torrents using Azureus. I've forwarded my port (54898) through my router (Netgear Wireless-N) and I've turned Windows firewall off. I'm running Azureus version 2.5.0.4. I'm currently trying to download a torrent that has 3 seeders and 5 peers, however, I am only connected to 1 peer and 0 seeds. I have a red dot next to Firewalled at the bottom of the Azureus window. Any help would be appreciated. (My OS is Windows Vista)

I'm a little confused as to which IP address I'm suppose to be using. Windows Vista makes it more difficult to find a static IP address.

Not sure about Vista myself. When you first forwarded your router to a port and ip address, it's that address that may have changed in your computer and will have to be made static, even in Vista, I think. Right now it's dynamic and your router may change it every time you restart. Where did you find your address? I don't see a complete guide yet but have a look here: http://www.trainsignaltraining.com/windo...ing/2006-11-15/ The info you need was obtained in XP by opening Command Prompt (ip address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS server(s) but I don't know if it still is in Vista: start>run, type in cmd or command, select ok and in the next box, type ipconfig/all, hit enter and the info you need showed. The only thing to watch for was if the DNS server(s) and Default Gateway had the same address in which case you would have to get them from your router. See if anything here looks familar: http://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm If the ip address at ipconfig/all matches the one you entered in your router. a static address won't even be necessary right now.

Well, it seems that I don't need a static IP Address since my router's IP and the IP that I obtained in the command prompt are the same... And my router is set to use UPnP. I'm still getting yellow faces beside my torrents though. Azureus is also still telling me that there is a Firewall/NAT (TCP) reachability problem.

What ISP are you with? It could be that they're blocking torrents and someone may know or it could be some security feature of Vista; were things fine before Vista? You could also try connecting your router directly to your computer if you can. That's not many seeds and peers, it could just be a matter of not being connected to any peers, I receive a NAT error in utorrent when no peers are connected.

My ISP is SBC Yahoo and they're not on that list of P2P file blockers. I got Vista and my new router at about the same time so I'm not sure if it's Vista or the router. I used uTorrent on my old computer (Windows XP) and it worked fine... However, I didn't have a router then. My router is connected through a 2Wire DSL modem, could that be the problem? Vista can't seem to recognize the 2Wire but it can still connect to the internet through it. I can't change the properties for my 2Wire modem since Vista is unable to recognize it.

Don't know but I'm leaning toward Vista.

I finally got a green face on Azureus and the NAT dot at the bottom of the window turned green. I had to turn UPnP off in Azureus. But now everytime I start Azureus, I can't do anything on the internet and the files still aren't downloading fast. (only one was downloading at about 2 kb/s) One of the torrents has 200 seeds but I can't seem to connect to any of them...

Hi. I'm also a beginner with torrents and the bit torrent clients. I've read through many of these threads on the NAT error and setup for Azureus. I've tried all the recommendations that have been suggested on this thread and other FAQs. I continue to get the NAT error: At times its the connection timed out error (Testing port 49520 ...
NAT Error - Connection attempt to 66.57.34.80:49520 aborted: timed out after 20sec.) and other times, it indicates the port is no good. I've tried with numerous different port numbers. My ISP is TimeWarner and I've got a Netgear WGR614v6 router. I've tried with leaving the settings on both my router and Azureus to UPnP and then with setting up port forwarding as well. I've given my PC a static IP from the TCP/IP settings on Win XP. Any idea what I could be missing? Does anybody know if TimeWarner limits P2P applications? Its not on the banned list from what I've seen.

Yeah, im having the exact same problem, i have tried everything with no success. I have Port forwarded, Opened ports, set up statin ip address and configured everything exactly as it is posted on the Azureus Help page, and im still getting the Nat Error. When i do the Nat Test, it fails from a time out after 20 seconds.. Somebody please tell me they have solved this problem.

I'm also having the exact same problem and also have done everything that I can find about encrypting, port forwarding and so on...
I've got the red dot (firewalled) error and the NAT test is timing out... has anyone figured out what the problem is?
thanks much!

I finally figured out what my problem was. My dsl modem that was connected to my router was running a firewall that was blocking my torrent programs. It was hard getting into my modem's interface after I installed my router but once I did get to the interface, I simply changed the firewall settings to allow all applications to be able to connect. The hardest part of this was connecting to my dsl modems interface.

I am also having the same problem (NAT Error - Connection attempt to ###.###.###.###: aborted: timed out after 20sec.) And I have had no problems (till now) with forwarding ports. I did not change anything in my router settings, nor did I change any settings in Azureus.
It would be great if someone could explain why am I getting this error, and how do I fix it. There are a few that would benefit from this.
Thanks in advanced.

Oh, and at the bottom when I hover over the "NAT" box at the bottom, it says "reachability ok (TCP)"

hey guys, im having probs with being firewalled on azureus and limewire, everything was going great, my interenet was fast as just went from 56k dial up to 256 b/b was downloading at 25kbs with everything on defult settings, then ran a couple of optimising programs arm regcure, advances sys optimiser and xp repair pro, and then went back to azurus and it was firewalled played for a bit with no joy, disabled to fire wall, im using zone alarm security suit, arm that didnt work, tryed system resore, that didnt work either, changed the upnp setting on my router config to enable that worked but was downloading much slower and limewire was still firewalled, so restored that back to defult as it was working fine when i firt started, unistalled the optimising utills incase maybe they were causing the firewall, still no joy, im not as sharp as u guys with the port stuff i can follow instructions but general not to good at working it out myself, my router is a belkin #F5D7633au4a, thanx any help would be great cheers,

Ditto on the problem. I just got wireless internet through http://partenershipwireless.com - just a basic wireless antenna internet service provider. When it was first set up by the install guy, I thought he had set the router with a static ip from the isp. Well about a week into having the service, I just stopped being able to download things on Azureus. I have never gotten the nat to not throw the "your computer refused the connection" error. I have bought a new router (because I wanted a wireless one) and did all the port forwarding just like on the portforward.com website. I unblocked azureus's ports in my windows firewall. Then I gave up and just turned it off. I called my isp and asked them if they were throttling ports and if I needed a static ip for the router. I set my Vista machine ip to be static. I know that the router's ip is not the same one that portforward.com says my external ip is (or that little signature add on that one of the afterdawn members has) I have been reading about this and trying to fix it for a week. I thought maybe it was the torrents from http//:dattebayo.com, but blizzards WoW tracker is having trouble too. I don't think I have any other firewalls up. I have Symantec Anti Virus, but temporarily disabling that didn't help either.
Where I work they have a different wireless ISP and azureus works there, but mine worked for the first week too. Both the work computer and mine have vista. I wasn't there when they installed it but maybe I will sneak a peek at the router settings. I tried getting through with my mac on the same network and I got the same error. I really think that the problem is in my isp or router and I am thinking it has something to do with the way the router and ISP interact. Two reasons: One: it used to work with no special Vista setup. Two: The IP my router displays in its set up is not the same as my external ip. When I unplug the router and just plug in th computer i have the same problem? Does that mean I got screwed over by my isp?
I feel like I have tried to attack this from every angle: ISP, ROUTER, Portforwarding, problems with firewalls, the torrents themselves. I played around with the different UPnP settings. Mine seem to work better when it is enabled in Azureus. The error I get from Azureus is either Connection Timeout OR SocketException: Software cause connection abort: receive failed. I can't tell where to try and address this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.... and I am willing to bribe someone with home-made chocolate chip cookies if I have too. :)
