hi, New this home broadband thing,
Ive got a 2mb connection with eircom and using the wireless router they supplied.
Trying to set up Azureus to run right! Have read a fair few threads on some torrent sites but it all above my head.

when i do a "nat / firewall test" i get this back:
"Testing port 6881 ...
NAT Error - Connection attempt to 83.70.107.131:6881 aborted: timed out after 20sec."
