are you using winxp? are you using a 3rd party firewall or security client (norton internet security, etc...) if you are on win xp and not using any other clients, go to start menu/control panel/windows firewall. if it is on, then make sure that the "Don't Allow Exceptions box is cleared, click on the exceptions tab and check the box beside azareus. if azareus isnt listed, or if you have any problems doing this, reply back and i'll try to help.
