Configuring my Router so Azureus will work?!
 

Hiya, needing some help/guidance with getting Azureus to run on my laptop.

I did a bit of googling and apparently i have to set port forwarding on my router or something:shrug:

So i tried this, and apparently i need a static IP address, but that was too taxing for my likkle brain... :shrug:

I'm a 1 day noob as far as networking goes, so can you luverly techies help me sort it out please?!:D

Pia, which router do you have? (make/model)

Re: Configuring my Router so Azureus will work?!
 

This website is great for configuring routers: www.portforward.com

You don't need a static IP to do it. Just the IP of whatever PC is running Auzaureus, that's the IP address that the router is asking for. Then forward the necessary port against that IP address for the protocol in use.

It's a Netgear MR814v2

Aye, that's the site i've been looking at, that's the one that said i needed a static IP.
Ah right, i'm with you up until the last sentence, that's what i wouldn't know how to do!:tu::dunce:

Enable uPnP in your router & Azureus Pia...

If you need help to do that post back & I'll give full details.

uPnP? Does that stand for unhealthy pie n peas:drool:

No? mmmmmmm sounded nice to me:dunce:

Re: Configuring my Router so Azureus will work?!
 

I think uPnP (Unusually Pretty nice Pia) is enabled by default in your router....

So enable it in Azureus by going to Options -->Plugins --> UPnP & checking the box...

Hehehehe:D

Just looked, it was already enabled.

Check the box named 'Report successful mappings' in Azureus.

Also check it is set to on in your router by going to the Advanced menu entry & UPnP & check turn UPnP on...

Then turn off router & PC & restart both... Then see if Azureus reports successful mapping of the ports you have it set to use.

Thanks Cobby, i enabled uPnP in my router, and it was working fine after that :tu:

Even got some much better speeds than i usually do! :D

Now you can download all those linux distributions you've just been itching to try out.... ;)
