Transmission - port forward

Anyone fathomed out how to do it!? I've done as I do with my router for my pc so what am I doing wrong for it to say the port is closed!??

Cheers

 

tricky to say.
This is not really a AAO specific uestion as far as I can tell. It's more of a networking one. However, you imply that you have port forwarded to your windows machine with no issue, but are having trouble with the AAO. So, consider what's happening. You have instructed your router to send traffic based on destination port to a specific IP address on your LAN, that IP being your windows PC.

To make the AAO work, you would need to remove the rule for the windows machine, as the rules would conflict otherwise.

I'm not sure if that helps. It may. If not, please do come back with more information.

Thanks Dirk for your time! So does the AAO use an IP address like a pc???

 

Of course it does! Everything using tcp/ip networking must have an unique ip address, including networked printers, NAS storage devices, refrigerators, game consoles, routers, etc. In a terminal do:

ifconfig

And look at ath0 (if wireless connection) to see the ip address assigned to your AAO by the DHCP server in your router. If you're hardwired, the ip address will be assigned to eth0.

Cheers.
