The IP address is the one my ISP assigns to me, right?

Shouldn't Azureus be showing the static one I set up?
When testing the port, all they can see is the one your ISP assigns you. The only one who can see your local IP (the static one like 192.168.1.xxx) are the other computers in your network and your router.

You should log into your router and make sure that port is forwarded. You should also verify that your router sees the correct IP for you. I *think* on a PC, you get to the terminal and type "ipconfig".... I think.... maybe someone on XP can help with that.
