Linksys port opening not working?

One More Solo · 15 Aug 2006 at 16:16

I'm trying to open port 6881 to use Azureus on my Linksys router (WAG54G) but whatever I do it doesn't seem to want to open. Tests always say it is closed even though the options clearly show it is open. Any ideas for what I've missed?

Does it work if you open another port? Maybe your ISP is blocking common ports like that...

I've done that but still get a NAT error on the testing thing, maybe Windows is screwing something up? Thanks for the guide though, much appreciated. Also setup a static ip.

Working perfectly now, was another problem with a software firewall. Thanks for help anyway.
