After about 15 hours of trial and error and talking to numerous people on the net, I finally figured out what was wrong. My dsl modem had a firewall active. I just let Azureus be an exception in the modem settings, and it opened right up.

Thanks to all for the help. They should really include that step in these tutorials instead of just talking about the router. I didn't realize a modem was considered a router that can have it's own firewall. I had to find out from somebody in Azureus chat support.
