Transmission Setup Help

How do I configure my router to access transmission from WAN on port 80?

[oleo]

First move router web interface to some other port. Eg. 8001 with

nvram set http_lanport=8001
nvram commit
reboot

Then change /opt/etc/init.d/S80busybox_httpd and change
port to 80.
This will give you acces from inside. Then configure NAT and
virtual server to accept connections from WAN.

I cannot get any torrent to download. I am using a pppoe connection.

The cgi interface is working ok. I put a torrent in the 'source' directory and push it to active. Then I see in the 'work' directory a folder with the name of the torrent file and transfer.data and transfer.gnuplot. But there is no download activity.

When I use the update button I get the message: "Unable to find recent transfer stats in syslog" When I look at the syslog there is no transfer data and I only see:

May  6 12:53:26 pppoe-relay[86]: PADI packet from 00:0d:52:68:e5:36 on interface eth1 not permitted

"netstat -ln" gives no LISTEN on 65534
"telnet my.outside.ip 65534" gets reply:

Connecting To my.outside.ip...Could not open connection to the host, on port 65534: Connect failed

My post-firewall looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

#SSH and FTP access from WAN
iptables -D INPUT -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i vlan1 -p tcp --dport 22 -j DNAT
--to-destination $4:22
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i vlan1 -p tcp --dport 21 -j DNAT
--to-destination $4:21
iptables -I INPUT 2 -p tcp --syn --dport 443 -j ACCEPT

#Bittorrent
iptables -A INPUT -i $1 -p tcp --syn --dport 65534 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $1 -p tcp --dport 65534 -j DNAT
--to-destination $4:65534
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i vlan1 -p tcp --dport 8008 -j DNAT
--to-destination $4:8008

iptables -A INPUT -j DROP

The log in the cgi interface shows:

check with "ps" if transmisisond is running.

Note that you must use oleg package feed and not wl500g!

]$ cat /opt/etc/ipkg.conf 
#Uncomment the following line for native packages feed (if any)
#src/gz native http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/native/stable
src/gz optware http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable
dest /opt/ /

I have checked with "ps" and transmissiond is not running.

I have also made the described changes tot ipkg.conf and reinstalled transmission with the oleg package feed. Unfortunately still no success.

It is not enough to reinstall transmission onlyu. You need to reinstall all packages and ipkg-opt and uclibc-opt too!

When I give the command

ipkg install ipkg-opt

I get two errors:
