Another Closed Port Question

Post by wbee »

Hello,

I have a dual boot with Windows XP and Ubuntu JJ,32,up to date.

I use utorrent with XP and have a port manually set through my router and a firewall exception with my anitvirus software. Yes,I use a static IP. I checked a few minutes ago and my port is open.

With Ubuntu and Transmission, I could not get either the aforementioned port or a new port to open. Yes,I have an exception set through the firewall.

I did some reading and went into my router,resetting the defaults,taking out the manual routing and the static ip address. Then,I enabled the uPtoP designations,but it is was still closed.

In my network settings,it shows a loopback interface with a different number than the ethernet interface number. The ethernet interface number(including the sub mask) is the one my router recognizes. I went into transmission>preferences>web and the number is shows is the loopback number. I tried to add the ethernet number and it would not accept it;it kept defaulting back to zeros and points.

Now what should I try?

Thank you.
