Did you download Tor and Vidalia separately? I assume this is the stable version of Tor? Also, post if these changes (or others) work for you. Finally, I obviously have no idea you are setup. But if your computer gets a dynamic address from the router (standard DHCP setup) you may want to check the port forward part again. It is *possible* that your computer changes IP's (again, internally) since you set up the port forwarding. > GD > > On 2 Nov 2008, at 05:09, Jonathan Addington wrote: > >> I can only be of so much help compared to many of the others on this >> list but I'll give it a shot as I am posting as it. >> >> On Sat, Nov 1, 2008 at 11:50 PM, Geoff Down <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>> >>> Hi, >>> I'm having trouble starting up a Tor relay. >>> Once I set up port forwarding (I've tried to set it up for TCP and UDP), >>> should I be able to >> >> Tor only operates in TCP, you don't need to set yourself up UDP. >> >>> a) Ping myself from a looking-glass service >>> b) Traceroute myself from a looking glass ? >>> At the moment neither of these work. >>> I get 'cannot confirm you can be seen from the outside world' errors. >>> I'm on a dynamic IP, Mac OSX, I haven't changed any of the defaults from >>> the >>> Vidalia bundle. >>> the logs say >>> 'Nov 02 04:35:41.569 [Notice] Opening OR listener on 0.0.0.0:9001' >> >> It probably shouldn't be listening on 0.0.0.0. localhost:9001 or >> 127.0.0.1:9001 are normal unless OS X is different from Windows & >> Linux (sorry, not real familiar with Macs). >> >> Changing that may be enough.
