2 questions for the knowledgeble

1. i cannot find a link to make a contribution
2. for the 2nd time ive had my connection button go red (firewalled)last time
i changed the port number and resolved the problem - this time i cannot find a
port that doesnt come up as firewalled. - im not looking for a fix , im
working my way through all the fix guides but despite the red button its
seeding and downloading (although the dl is slightly slower)but in the dozens
of pages i read im sure (cannot find it again) it mentioned that a
reachability problem caould lead to a ban. so the question is while i am
trying to resolve the problem do i ignore the nat problem or will it lead to
me being booted?
thanks

there are two possible ways to fix this,

1st - set your client to use upnp, provided your router is enabled for upnp it
should activate the port temporally till the client is shut down
2nd - open a port on your router and forward it to your pc, and set your client
to use that port, you will probably have to set a dhcp reservation in your
router to make sure the route stays in place all the time

also, make sure your firewall on your pc isnt blocking your client, windows
firewall on xp isnt the best, so disable that and get a decent firewall client,
