Cannot open listening port for Transmission

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login to the webgui of transmission via http://localhost:9091
2. Goto Preference->Network
3. I can see the status that the peer listening port 53034 is closed

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am running Transmission 2.42 on RT-N56U, firmware: 1.0.1.7f-p11

Please provide any additional information below.
Even though not sure if I did it correctly, I tried to open the ports for the 
router itself on the "Port Forwarding" page of the router. Please look the 
attached image for the screen shot. I also updated the iptables script in my 
/opt/etc/init.d folder, by adding four sentences to it as follows:

        iptables -I INPUT -p udp --destination-port 53034 -j ACCEPT
        iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 53034 -j ACCEPT
        iptables -D INPUT -p udp --destination-port 53034 -j ACCEPT
        iptables -D INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 53034 -j ACCEPT

Here's the output of the netstat command:

/opt/home/admin # netstat -tulpn

It looks to me that the port has been opened, but why Transmission still 
complains about it? Please advise. thanks.

Hi! There is the problem which hasn't been fixed yet. You can read - 
https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/4407

Btw, you can update to 2.50 version see it in Downloads or read 
http://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/wiki/CommonTips#Add_the_project_repository_to_s
ource_list on how to add project repository for updates.

PS: and do not switch the firewall to Off!! It is very insecure!
