Getting connectable.

[ricst]

Does using a VPN matter for issues of being connectable?  I ask because I'm always connected via VPN.

 

I've done the port forwarding for TCP port 24874 in my Netgear firewall.  I've verified that the Mac software firewall allows incoming connections on this port.  

 

Is there a set of specific diagnostic procedures I can follow to determine why I am not showing up as connectable?  I'm trying, and want to be a good torrent citizen.

 

Thanks.
