This is more of a question for BitTorrent_help, but I'll answer it
here anyway.

First, check your system's IP with IPConfig. If it is within one of
the ranges defined in RFC 1918, you're totally stuck.

If it is not within one of those ranges you may have some hope. Use a
port scanner such as the one on http://www.broadbandreports.com/scan

Subject: [BitTorrent] Campus Port Problems


Hi there,  I'm a bit of a newbie to both torrents and newsgroups (a 
double threat)

I am having trouble finding an open port to increase download speeds.
 I 
alternate between usage of Azures and ABC, although it seems Azures
is 
the better client.  When I use Azures' configuration wizard to type
in a 
port, I'm either answered with 'unable to test port' or 'NAT error'. 
I've obtained the ports by using programs to scan my computer for
open 
ports.

As in the title, I am on a campus network.  I suspect that the school
has blocked certain ports, but the fact that I can not get a single
port 
open port to work with a client baffles me.  Anyways, if any help can
be 
offered, or if anyone can point me in the direction of a place that 
could help me it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris
