In Azureus I get NAT error even though I have my port enabled In >Firewall>Allowed Services>TCP and UDP. BUT if I stop the Firewall while Azureus is open then restart it I get NAT OK. How can I correct this? Seems to be a communication problem between Azureus and Firewall.

Or, as an alternative how do I configure GuardDog for Azureus? I have everything else [so far] working in GuardDog.

Well I'll be dipped in bleep and hung out to dry! I guess because I have a voip phone router I needed in >Yast>Firewall>Allowed Services>Internal Zone' to add my prefered Azureus port. I was adding it to Externel Zone'. Now if I could get my Firefox extensions to work in Swiftfox I'd be bleeping in tall cotton!

Glad you got it working, and thanks for posting your solution for other members to see and learn from!

i am experiencing the same problems but i cannot get it working can you plz explain in depth how i can get azureus working???? it says NAT ERROR so can you plz explain so someone new to linux can understand plz.....thanks

Red Knuckles. Is your internet connection configured under external zone or internal zone? If its internal zone, that's why you had to add the Azureus port in the firewall internal zone section. I think if you had the internet connection configured as external, your previous port opening in the external zone would have worked.

Alexandru. Go to your azureus settings and check which port it is using. Then go to yast-> firewall and open a port in both TCP and UDP. If that doesn't work, just disable the firewall. I find that it isn't as useful under Linux as much as it is in Windows. Linux machines don't get hacked either way.

i have tried and i am still having problems with azureus max download is 6.8kb/s is there anything else i can doo to have azureus running in good condition ??? it still shows the yellow icon all the time i have never seen it turn green only yellow i would appreciate any help thanks

Not sure if Internet connection is internal or external. I have a voip phone router. It has it's own address as does my computer. The router connects to my Comcast address. I think that makes it an internal connection.

Also, I can get the Suse/Yast firewall to work for periods of time with Azureus but it doesn't keep working. Therefore I have disabled it and installed GuardDog which works fine with Azureus. For some reason I haven't figured out yet the Suse/Yast firewall and Azureus just don't work well together for me.

See above post. I eventually disabled Suse/Yast firewall and installed GuardDog. You can get GuardDog here:

Note there is a very helpful on line manual. Also you may need KDE to install and use GuardDog.

ok i will try this and let you know thanks for the help so far i appreciate it and i hope it will work for me too

If you are running suse as a desktop OS and have a router and or using NAT I think that is plenty of security for a firewall. That is unless you have malicious people inside your LAN

my dsl is connected to a wireless router maybe im having trouble with azureus because im using wireless internet????????

so what can i do?

I don't know anything about wireless. But you may need to enable UPnP in Azureus and in your wireless router or use port forwarding in your wireless router to open a port for Azureus. Also in router make sure NAT is enabled. To enable UPnP in Azureus open Azureus>Options>Plugins>UPnP and check the box to enable [it normally is enabled by default]. To change settings in your wireless router you need to read the router manual, should be fairly easy though.

I also had the same issues with azureus and guarddog.

Fixed the problem by enabling ip forwarding on the DSL modem/router. The modem/router can be configured via web interface, i guess this may depend on the hardware.
