Downloading with bittorrent from inside my lan/wired network
Hi - I have d/l for maybe 8 years in Mandriva using Bittorrent.
About a year ago I managed to set up a wired network in our home and the pc's communicate with the internet and to each other - Mandriva to XP and Kubuntu to XP. So far so good.
I have my network set up so one (XP) pc is connected directly to the internet using 'Set up a home or small business network' in XP and the others connect to this one via a switch or hub. The others with XP connect with the internet through that one and they can all (XP) communicate and exchange files backwards and forwards.
Since then I have not been able to get Bittorrent to work in Mandriva: I have tried all combinations I can think of in 'set up personal firewall' and 'advanced' - '58815/tcp' etc but it does not 'listen' so I cannot seed.
Kubuntu 'torrents' out of the box and Xp can also torrent through the 'gateway'.
Can someone help please?
BTW at the moment I have the firewall in the XP machine disabled and the firewall in the Mandriva pc connecting to 'everything' ! Just to see and still no incoming...
