For the life of me I can't get green faces in Azureus on windows 7. I booted up vista just to check and it was fine but in 7 no go. I'm using the same port which is forwarded on the router so I don't understand why it doesn't work on 7100.
Any ideas.
To test, turn off your Windows firewall. Bet it works.
Then, turn it back on and allow Azureus access through the ports that it needs.
yeah, i tried that. so far it's not working
The *only* other thing I can think of is that your router is configured to allow the Azureus ports through but a router looks at the name of the computer so if your W7 install has a different name for the PC than the Vista one, it won't apply those rules. Long shot, but it might be worth looking into.
got it man!! i turned the firewall off and bingo! now i'll just configure it to allow the port.
Thanx
a router wont resolve IP port forwarding to name resolution. it goes, mac, ip, port, then application... is the way the router will "filter" incoming and outgoing traffic.
Make sure you have both UDP AND TCP forwarded to the corresponding port to the pc IP in question.
I have forgotten many things myself, and some more obvious than this... no worry
