Hi basher, I found the original reference and this did the trick.
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 6881:6999 -j ACCEPT
Hit enter. This adds a rule to open TCP ports 6881 through 6999 in your firewall. These ports are required by bittorent and/or Azureus. Type:
/sbin/iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
Hit enter. This saves the rule. You must also open udp port 6881 for Azureus. Type:
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p udp --destination-port 6881:6881 -j ACCEPT
Hit enter. This adds a rule to open UDP port 6881 in your firewall. Type:
/sbin/iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
This is from a very old guide:

I found it was not as easy as that though. You have to open the port on the router also.
Thanks for taking the time to help
