Port Forwarding Vuze on the 2wire 2701HG-D
Before we can forward ports for Vuze, we need to figure out what ports Vuze is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up Vuze.
Click Tools in the menu at the top of the program. Then click Options in the list that drops down.
In the menu on the left hand side of your screen, click Connection. On this page you should see a box called Incoming TCP / UDP listen port. You can change the port number that Vuze is using if you like. The number that is in that Port box is the port that you will have to forward.
Please enter the number that was in that box below.
Vuze's Port
Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser.
If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router.
By default the IP address should be set to 172.16.0.1.
Click the Firewall button.
Click the Firewall Settings button.
Use the Select a computer box to choose a computer to forward ports to. This box contains a list of computer names that are visible on your network.
Click the Add a new user-defined application link.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Vuze requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Edit Application menu and then click Add Definition.
