Most ISPs block the default port that Azureus uses. So it is a good idea to change Azureus' port number to something other than the default port. Here's a brief walkthrough on how to do that.
In Azureus click Tools in the menu at the top of your screen. Then click the Options link in the menu that drops down.
In the menu tree on the left hand side of this window Connection should be selected. Pick a random port between 49152 and 65535. Then enter that port into the Incomming TCP/UDP Listen Port box. When you are done, be sure to click the Save button at the bottom of the configuation screen.
Please enter the port you chose for Azureus below.
To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.
Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.2.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your password. Enter your password now. By default your password is admin. Click the Log in button to log in to your router.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Azureus requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Virtual Server Settings menu and then click Apply.
And that is it! You are done!
