In your router web interface, you have to search a configuration page that says "Port Forwarding" or "NAT" or something similar. There you have to enter the Port and the IP Address of the computer you're running Vuze/Azureus on. That should solve the problem. If you tell us the Manufacture and Model of your router, we could tell you more specific, how the option is named and how to do it.

There is also a little WikiPage in the Azureus Wiki, that could explain to you, how to do it. http://wiki.vuze.com/w/NAT_problem

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Rick for more information if necessary.
