Port Forwarding Azureus on the Dlink DGL-4300

What is Port Forwarding?

View all Router Screenshots.

Most ISPs block the default port that Azureus uses. So it is a good idea to change Azureus' port number to something other than the default port. Here's a brief walkthrough on how to do that.

In Azureus click Tools in the menu at the top of your screen. Then click the Options link in the menu that drops down.

In the menu tree on the left hand side of this window Connection should be selected. Pick a random port between 49152 and 65535. Then enter that port into the Incomming TCP/UDP Listen Port box. When you are done, be sure to click the Save button at the bottom of the configuation screen.

Please enter the port you chose for Azureus below.

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address.
Try our free PF Setup Static IP Address Program which will setup a static ip address for your computer.

Or you can take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Do not skip this step!

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 192.168.0.1.

You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is admin. Click the Log In button to log in to your router.

Please visit our Default Router Passwords page if the username and password shown above did not work for you.

Click the Advanced button near the top of the page.

Click the Gaming link near the left of the page.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Azureus requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Add Game Rule menu and then click Save.

When you're finished, click Save Settings near the top of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!

To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
