I used to have Opensuse 11.0 and Vuze 4.0.2 and both were working great. Recently I upgraded to OpenSuse 11.3 and installed Vuze 4.5.10. I did not change any configuration in the ADSL router but now I could not get the smiley icon to go green. I followed all the steps given here: A Quick Bittorrent Guide (with screenshots). It doesn’t work. so I modified FW_ROUTE and FW_MASQUERADE to yes in /etc/sysconfig/SuSefirewall2. That also does not work. What did I miss here? My ADSL router is DSL-2640T.

did you try disabling IPv6 the new to 11.3 way?

What if there were no hypothetical questions?
I have not experienced this.
Though I do sometimes see Vuze reporting the firewall wrongly
ie: I get the Red Firewalled symbol. But it’s maxing out speed. later the Red turns green
i remember having the same concern as vuze developers updated the product over the last year or so, for me it turned out to be the methods (port availability tests) that generate the simple color indicator for the connection “health”.
Vuze has many features and is not just a bittorrent client which translates into additional tests to find out if these features can be used. So if you are not running a server, or streaming files via vuze over your LAN, pushing/recieving RSS… chances are one of the tests will fail and make the indicator in the statusbar of the Vuze window not be green.
Before you begin a download session, run the NAT/Firewall test from the Tools menu and pay close attention to the results, i think you will find that it is failing on a feature you don’t normally use.
Vuze/Azureus still has forums like this one for users and i believe the #azureus-support channel is still on Freenode if you still run into difficulties or questions.
good luck.
