Re: How Do I enable port 6881
to change port in azureus:

tools menu/options
under 'connection' change 'TCP listen port' to something like 52176, or whatever...

now i think about it, the port forwarding thing in windows is probably up to the job. on the laptop, go to 'network proporties/advanced/settings'. set up the port you specified before (ie 52176) to be forwarded to the IP of your computer. if you dont know the IP, it should be under network connection status/support/details

EDIT: found it thanks for advice you think port 30000 should do trick it says all is okay on the test.
fair enough, if it works now ignore the above, dont touch it!

30000 will do. i cant remember exactly what the official 'free-for-all' ports are but i serously doubt that would cause a problem
