in the security level, on the bottom where it allows user input - you should be able to type

6881:tcp

that doesn't work?

Once you do that, type (as root)

iptables -L and see if it is listed in your firewall rules.

See the Azureus section of the Notes for an explanation of configuring iptables with the proper ports. You may also have to forward these ports in your router or gateway.
