Hey guys. Would appreciate any help i can get on this.

Im having issues using Transmission and webcams on yahoo messenger. I have portforwarded the port used by transmission and in advanced it says "port open", yet torrents fail to start. They just sit there not connecting to any peers.

As with yahoo, if someone invites me to view there cam and i press accept, it just sits there saying "starting webcam...." and never connects/loads.

I have a router (connected to optus cable), but have portforwarded most of the yahoo/transmission ports. Ive never had to port forward before though (a week ago i was on pc), and since changing to mac it seems I now have to?

Is there some sort of inbuilt firewall on leapord that could be affecting connecting to things by these programs?
