" Nat error "Azureus (no firewall and no share internet connection)

[Izzo]

hi, i'm a new comer in this board, i also having trouble getting connection from bitcomet and azerues (sp), I have done my port forwarding and nothing is changed, even when i use ares, i can only get a few results from my searches.

My connection is 384k/64k and im using Prolink Hurricane 9000G Router, so if anyone here who can lend a hand then that would be much appreciate it. Thanks!!!

not sure what you mean by searches ....maybe you're using the wrong keywords to search ... azureus has a NAT test within it ... just go to ..hmm I think it's tools>options and check the NAT test ...if you're still having trouble after that allow the app within your software firewall( if you have one)

also your speed will limit you obviously

I tried the NAT/Firewall test on azureus and the result was ok. the smileys turned to green but i was still downloading at an incredibly slow speed (0.5kb-1.3kb) so i left it overnight and nothing changed. Also i am unsure what type of firewall my router has but i managed to disable almost all the setting ragards to it.

What i ment with ares is, when i put in keywords such as lets see "Yellow Card" or any type of other songs of movies, i only get a few results back. When i download a file from it there's alot of users doing Pushing (UDP), which i don;t understand what it means.

UDP is a protocol....when you port forwarded make sure you set it to TCP not UDP

Okay, I have a linksys bfrsr81 which is the same as the 41 but with more ports. Anyway, I have followed the portforward directions, and done everything I possibly could do and Azureus refuses to work correctly. Right now I have the port on Azureus set to 65531 because portforward.com said I can use any port from like 42561 to 65580 or something like that. I've tried multiple random numbers and I get the following message:

Testing port 65531 ... Unable to test: Invalid port given, or test service failed.
Another application may already be using this port.

I have no firewalls (windows firewall is off), and I'm using sp2. The faces are green sometimes and I'll get speeds around 80 kb, but the NAT thing doesn't say "OK" like it should. It has in the past randomly and I have no idea why it worked and why it doesn't now. I also am getting 0kb upload for some reason and I have it set to 25 in options. If someone can solve this problem so that I have no nat errors and my upload starts working I will be very grateful. Btw, I currently have ports 6881 to 6999, 6969, 16881, 49180, 65531 forwarded on my router to 192.168.1.101. in ipconfig the ip is 192.168.1.101 and the default gateway is 192.168.1.1. I'm assuming forwarding the ports to 192.168.1.101 is correct. In the DMZ host option its at 192.168.1.101, even though I have no clue what that does. Thank you.

Okay, I'm getting good dl speeds and faces are still green at the bottom of Azureus I see "NAT OK" but I still get the: "Testing port 65531 ... Unable to test: Invalid port given, or test service failed.
Another application may already be using this port."

As for upload, it's somehow at 0. Is there some option I'm forgetting or something in my router?

[scar1]

I have now started another download with 13 seeds and I'm getting 300 kb but the face is yellow next to it.

Still no upload.

Took a while but the face is green, no upload.

[Izzo]

The IP looks good.....I'd double check your router settings maning sure that both incoming/outgoing ports are the same and TCP is checked. I would suggest using a different port if that's the error you're getting ... try the default ...i think its the 42516 or something like that. Also if you're running a software firewall like norton/sygate make sure the app is allowed within it. I can tell you from experience that you wont always get green happy faces with that prog even if your settings are correct and you won't always d/l at blazing speeds....there are many factors that can determine that also.... in fact, azureus says on their site if you don't seed/upload your priority could be affected. Keep testing and post back

[scar1]

Using port 6881 now and nat is OK, but I'm still not getting upload and download is spiking from 100 kb to 3 kb randomly.

[Izzo]

Using port 6881 now and nat is OK, but I'm still not getting upload and download is spiking from 100 kb to 3 kb randomly.

do you see the speeds in the lower right corner of the browser ?...right click and you can set the speeds manually..... or go into the options and fiddle with the settings... perhaps you turned something off .. I can specualte but if your NAT is ok then your issues are with the network/peers not your connection.

[born2gain]

UDP is a protocol....when you port forwarded make sure you set it to TCP not UDP

What happens if i set on both of them TCP and UDP?

I've got some port forwards at 6881- 6999 in both TCP and UDP
Also other ports?

So are you saying i only need to forward TCP and not ÜDP?

When you forward ports you want them to be identical


6881 6881 TCP .....you only need to do one....no need to set a range ..I posted a pic on a previous page that shows what it should look like..... you shouldn't have UDP enabled anywhere ...

KK thanks dude i'm in the middle of downloading once im done i'll try that out and see if it works, oh btw what port do u think it would be most suitable to use bitcomet?

Dunno, I use azureus exclusively.....and 6881 still works for me despite their posts.

[born2gain]

oh another question, what ip should i put? is it my WAN ip, LAN ip or my DHCP Clients Ip address???

LAN

Hey Izzo i did the setting the way u said i should, everything works fine like NAT is ok, i can see how many users are on azureus and the other problem im still having is my download is still slow 1kb-1.8kb max, witht that file im connected to 33 (388) seeders.

Am i missing something?

Hmm ..and you're getting green happy faces also?

[GruntGuy]

hey, i came across this thread on google, and i found it very helpful! I use azureus and my dude has always been yellow. when i followed this thread, i managed to get it green! i can also notice a slight speed difference, although its not great. any ideas on how i can get the speed increased through other methods? i'm getting about 30kbps at the moment.

it's hit or miss ....depending on seeds and your connection ...set download to unlimited and find a suitable level to upload.....

[greaTER]

Damn. lol

I see this is a common problem for most folks...


You'd think they'd make this stuff easier for us wouldn't ya??

it's easier than you think.

[yossarian]

I use Azureus (v 2.4.0.2), almost exclusively to download/upload from/to OiNK ([url]http://oink.me.uk)[/url].

I get great down/up speeds with torrents from any other site, but the torrents from that specific site will only download (also at great speed). In other words: I can't seed, and so my ratio is dropping and I will get kicked out (at least when I've downloaded another 50 torrents or so... ).

(This was not a problem when I used bitcomet, but that client was banned from the site.)

I have done everything I can do (or so I thought...) about router options (port forward and such), but I STILL get the NAT error message, and the Azureus NAT/Firewall test fails every time. I also get the "DHT Firewalled" error on the files I've successfully downloaded.

I'm not behind a software firewall, and the router firewall is set to accept the port(s) I've tried to use for Azureus. (I've got a static IP and all that.)

Prrrleeeeaaaaase help me...!

[HillS]

Hello, I seem to be having the same problem with the NAT error on my home desktop PC. I have disabled my firewall. I use Fast-Access Wireless DSL from ISP Bellsouth. My PC is connected by a Netopia 802.11b WLAN USB Adapter. I have no idea how to get to any page to edit any information about, well... anything. I need step-by-step instructions, since I am utterly clueless when it comes to modems, routers, and the like. I appreciate any help that you guys can give me, and if you need any other information about my system, or connection, please let me know.

My sincere appreciation ahead of time for the help.

[aznrebel99]

ok, ya, so ive read most of these posts and i still cant get it to go green...... can anyone AIM me or MSN me to help?????

[HillS]

Please, anyone. I've yet to solve this problem, and I surely would appreciate a solution of any kind. Thanks a ton.

[HillS]

I've finally solved it. Thanks!

windows firewall?... allow it within your firewall

I've finally solved it. Thanks!

it would be nice of you to post how you fixed your issue, may help someone else out in the future, congrats

[easilythebest]

I have configured my router for UDP and TCP ports 64039 and 49152 setting my ip to 192.168.11.2 which is static. My internet comes through a router attached to another computer on the network (192.168.11.1) and firewalls are turned off on both mine and the gateway computer.

Still NAT is failing, please help! I've tried every guide I can find with various port numbers etc.

I'm running Win XP SP2 with a buffalo router.

[deefer]

Hi,

Another one here with the same problem, mine shows red face (firewallrd) and yellow face (DHT firewalled)

Running xp with windows firewall turned of.

Use zonealarm, but for this purpose is also turned off.

Here are screenshots of ipconfig & my router forwarding.

My router is a sweex LC000070 wireless

Hey guys, well ive read it all and done it all, being attempting to fix this on and off for a year now

I know you have said you are no longer helping people, I can understand, many of them are very rude and thoughtless, but not all

I hope I can convince you im not one of those. Id really appreciate some thoughts on this.

Heres what ive done:



I still get NAT erorr however.

I run no firewalls or A.V, nForce fw is off, win firewall is off too.

Running a Linksys WRT54G but im wired in
Running a ZoomX3 ADSL modem which i cannot access as its been 4 years since i set it up.

any help would be appreciated, im off to browse the forums a little.

try a different port and check your settings within azureus....

[MrLeroy]

Ahh yes, i posted this in the forum, i remember now.

Well, i sorted it out anyway, heres how.

As I run a Router hehind a modem, I had conflicts of interest between the 2 units, so i set up a Demilitarized Zone within the modem to bypass all traffic 100% to the router, then used port forwarding to direct Azureus Traffic to my PC. Sorted, all works like a treat now with the firewalls back up. 900kbs d/l cant be bad with all green faces lit

MrLeroy... I've searched thru countless forums for answer to the ^%$#$% evergreen yellow Smiley and NAT/Firewall test returning 'NAT error' forever. You wrote something about 'setting up DMZ within the modem to bypass all traffic to the router'. Well... this is one I have not tried. My question is, how do you setup a DMZ within the modem? I cant find instruction anywhere. Here's what I have:

DLink DCM-202 Cable modem
Linksys WRT54GC router (Wan IP: 202.73.122.xxx, LAN IP: 192.168.1.1)
My computer has static IP 192.168.1.200
I use port 56789 (TCP & UDP) & have forwarded it to the static IP
I turn all F/W off (windows & Norton Internet Security 2006)
NAT is OK (green), DHT is OK (showing # of users)
Peers connection are all (this is the problem!) locally initiated, no remote connections

Should I put the LAN IP of the router in a DMZ? Is that what you mean?

Please help...

[MrLeroy]

Ok, well, im no expert, nor do i pretend to be so my instructions as best i can put them are pretty lame.. Also, which i forgot to mention, to save me time in the long run, I also set a static IP, making me much more vulnerable to being traced for whatever i do, but i dont really download stuff im not allowed to anyway.

You are right in what you say, you need to setup the DMZ within the modem by entering the local IP of the router as the 'DMZ host IP' which it is called in my ZoomADSL x3 modem. this 'apparently' forwards without mercy ALL traffic to the router or something, I dont fully understand it or appreciate it myself

Then within the router on the static IP, I forwarded port 58042 to my machines Ip within the network.

I also did something i was recommended to do, which was reconfigure my Static DNS 1 to match the gateway IP, i dont remember if the gateway IP was already defined, or if I defined it from getting the Ip from somewhere else on the system, i think it was already there and all i needed to do was copy it to the static DNS 1 field. this should all look similar on your router, mines a WRT54g so it shouldnt be tooooo different, if at all.

The thing is, this was to fix my NAT Errors which u dont seem to be suffering, so whether or not this will fix your specific problem, of this i am unsure.

Let me know how it goes, ok?

All the best

MrLeroy...

I have not had the chance to try out the solution you mentioned as I'm out of town. However, while out of town, I tried connecting to the local ADSL 384/128 kBps (my connection at home is cable 64/16 kBps) using linksys WRT54G (I think). I have not done any changes at all to the setting and 'lo... suddenly smiling green faces starts popping out.

At the moment, all I can share is, my setting is exactly like my previous post. I suspect, my connection back home (cable 64/16 kBps) is too slow. I will check my suspicion and get back to you Monday. I want to know if I can (or cant) get the green smiley again and will revert back to you.

Cheers...

[MrLeroy]

Well thats a start Nala, we all like the Green Faces

As far as my experience with this goes, your connection speed shouldnt really affect your GReen Faces as it were, you will still get a clean connection, just not as quick as on a faster connection, it should still report as everything running fine.

Try it again when you return home and like you say, keep me posted on the results
