NAT Problem with Azureus on Intel

[infinitus]

I have a question about an NAT error that I receive while I try to use Azureus on my Macbook Pro. I have an airport extreme and have opened the port 14861 which is the recommended port for Azureus. I still recieve a yellow smiley and I fail the NAT test. I do not have firewall enabled. I searched the forums but couldn't find a solution for my problem.

Help is greaty appreciated, thank you!

do you have a double nat perhaps vonage as well?

the recommend port is actually one between 40K to 60K. are you forwarding both TCP / UDP ports?

bout all I can think of.

I don't have Vonage or a double NAT. I have Comcast cable with a Motorola surfboard modem. Should I turn on the NAT preference inside base station settings?

Choose a port in the 50k range. When you get a NAT Error, DOUBLE CLICK the NAT icon and it will take you to a web-page with detailed information on how to get rid of the NAT problem. Follow instructions on that page very thouroughly. Works every single time.

EDIT: Make sure you have a STATIC IP. If you have a dynamic IP NAT will never work.

I definitly agree. Mac Newbie myself. But I use a Netgear Wireless Router. So I ensured both on my Westell Modem (Verizon) and the router that I could open a port in the 50K range. I also on the router reserved a specific IP Address for my MBP and then ensure under Security in the Preferences I created or I guess you can modify one a Service in the Firewall to allow passthru to that 50 K Range. Tested in Azureus and it works like a charm. But do read the instructions with the page provided from Azureus. There is also another thread around here that mentions another specific address to check.....
