| 14 | <p>In this case, it is probably OK to disable the OS X firewall, as you are already being protected by the router. To disable the firewall, open System Prefs >> Sharing >> Firewall. Click Stop. |

| 16 | <div summary="To do this" id="taskbox"> |
|---|
| 17 | <ol> |
|---|
| 18 | <li>Find out what your IP address is. You can find your computer's IP address by going to System Prefs >> Network, double-clicking on your connection (for instance, Built-in Ethernet), and clicking the TCP/IP tab. It's probably something like 192.168.1.100, or 10.0.1.2.</li> |
|---|
| 19 | <li>Open Transmission, go to preferences, and enter a number for the port. It is recommended you pick a random number between 49152 and 65535. Let's use 50001 for now. Then quit Transmission.</li> |
|---|
| 20 | <li>Go into your router configuration screen. Normally this is done via your web browser using the address <a href="http://192.168.0.1">192.168.0.1</a> etc. |
|---|
| 21 | <br>NB: Apple's Airport uses an application called 'Airport Admin Utility' to configure it.</li> |
|---|
| 22 | <li>Find the port forwarding (sometimes called port mapping) screen. While the page will be different for each router generally you will enter something similar to the following:</li> |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | <ul> |
|---|
| 25 | <li>For 'Application' type 'Trans'. </li> |
|---|
| 26 | <li>For 'Start Port' and 'End port' type 50001. </li> |
|---|
| 27 | <li>For Protocol, choose Both. </li> |
|---|
| 28 | <li>For IP address, type in your IP address you found in Step 1. </li> |
|---|
| 29 | <li>Check Enable. </li> |
|---|
| 30 | <li>Click save settings. </li> |
|---|
| 31 | </ul> |
|---|
| 32 | </ol> |
