NAT Error with Azureus

I'v been trying to find some information specific to my configuration, but haven't had much success.
I have switched from a G5 with OS X 10.4.2 to a new G5 with 10.5.2. I have also changed over from a Linksys wireless router to the new Time Capsule.
Now my problem is that I am unable to get a port to allow Azureus to seed. I can leech with no problems. I have tried using portforward.com without any success. And I have read other topics in the forums here as well.
Whenver I do a firewall test, it gives me the following info...NAT Error- Connection _______:40156 (your computer) refused. 40156 being the port I have chosen. I have added Azureus to the firewall for permission, but that didn't work. Then I turned off the firewall and that didn't work. Is there anyone out there that may be able to help me.
Thanks.

G5, Mac OS X (10.5.2), Apple Network 8996a7

You probably have to configure TC so that port 40156 is mapped back to your Mac.

It may also be possible that Azureus supports port mapping protocol (Transmission does). If it does, all you have to do is to enable "NAT port mapping protocol" on your TC.

I made the same switch and using now Time Capsule too. I could solve the problem with Azureus and the NAT problem. I didnt had to change anything on Leopard side (make sure your Firewall allows all incoming services, by default no changes inside the Firewall). I have to translate it, so some words might be spelled different in English
1. Login to Time Capsule (TC) by your Airport Serviceprogram
2. Press the button "Extended" (symbol tech wheel) in the upper area
3. Click on the second menu button "Port Forwarding"
4. Add a new service by pressing the "+" sign
5. Enter for public and private ports the port address you have defined in Azureus, so all 4 fields are filled with the same port number. Dont choose any service from the drop down list.
Important and probably not set: There is another field on this page callled "Private IP address" and probably set to 10.0.1.201 which is the external IP adress. You need to set the internal IP adress. Therefore open your system settings folder and click on Network. Choose on the left side your active connection (green dot). Then on the right side you see a line beginning with "IP address" and the internal IP address. Thats the one you have to enter inside Time Capsule, described above. It might be that internal and external IP adress might look the same, except the last number.
6. After entering the correct IP adress, proceed inside Time Capsule, enter a description (like Azureus" in next window.
7. Let TC restart, then restart Azureus and test again. Guess it works now. 😉
