NAT error with Azureus even though UPnP works

[insanexyz]

Hi, sorry to be annoying with this again, but I spent 3 hours trying everything I could possibly find on the internet to no avail.
I've set up a static IP at 192.168.1.101, set Azureus to listen at TCP/UDP ports 53981 then went into my router and set up port forwarding with the aforementioned details. While I was browsing through that i noticed that Azureus works with the UPnP feature of the router, it even notified me itself that it established the connection.

However, when I use the NAT testing feature in Azureus (Vuze) it still says connection refused. Internet port checkers with the port 53981 still say the port is closed too. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Edit: also disabled my software firewall, no help there either.

get a command prompt and enter netstat -an ; the results are shown below
If your program is active, then the second column will contain 0.0.0.0:53981

It indeed does, both TCP and UDP
everything still says 53981 is closed though

 

[DelJo63]

If you have a second system on the same LAN - -

get a command prompt and enter CMD

then use telnet 192.168.1.101 53981

If the connection is refused, or timesout, then your firewall is still impacting you.
Otherwise your FW & systems are ok and the router is not forwarding

No telnet on win 7. I guess I'll just give up, I've been trying to get this to work for years and it never did.
