Azureus Port Forwarding Problem
i've just installed Azureus and no torrents seem to work
I went into Tools > Options and tested ports and any number I input into the box says are closed, I read I need to port forward since i'm using a D-Link DIR-625 router I followed steps to port forward but still nothing when I enter my IP into the router settings i get the following error IP address for 'Azur1' should be within LAN subnet (192.168.0.0) |
K that problem has been solved found the page with the router map of the IP I was to enter so that setting should be all dandy but however Azureus still fails when I speed test or test NAT / Firewall Port i used in the port forwarding settings.

I might be wrong now, but forwarding a port on your router might not be enough. What about your system firewall?
|
thats what i'm thinking and i'm a total newb to Linux so this whole
SELinux firewall thing is like another language to me lol do you or anyone reading know how to set the firewall up so that either transmission or Azureus work. |
you can try to change the status of selinux to permissive:
Open the file /etc/selinux/config and change the value: SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=permissive AFAIK, you need to reboot the system for the change to take effect. It will warn you about the things that it would normally block but it'll not block anything. You can change it back if it doesn't help. When it comes to Iptables (the firewall), as root try to issue the following command: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport xxx -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport xxx -j ACCEPT (if that doesn't work, try /sbin/iptables -A...........etc) where xxx is the port number. and then to save the state of iptables /sbin/service iptables save to check the iptables status: iptables -L There is a tutorial on iptables (basic configuration is not really difficult) http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=432469 hth |
got it working it started working once i turned off the firewall
but speeds are extremely slow i dont reach speeds over 40kb/s when downloading so i started the firewall again and wanted to try your suggestions once i get the firewall started whenever I try your commands i get the following bash: iptables: command not found to even get the firewall running I had to type /sbin/service iptables start so thought I would try your command with the /sbin/service infront of it and I get the following message from this command /sbin/service iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport xxx -j ACCEPT Usage: iptables {start|stop|restart|condrestart|status|panic|save} |
ok the iptables problem was solved didn't
realize there was a difference between the su and su - login so I typed in what you had told me too and still Azureus fails the NAT/FIREWALL tests. |
what does your:
/sbin/iptables -L show? |
iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:51515 ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:51515 Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination |
kk all fixed :D gettin remotely decent speeds of 200-250kb/s but that could just be the torrent itself and the peers/seeders
