The above is exactly what is happening. 91.121.74.28 is blocked when Transmission checks to see if a port is open or not. 91.121.74.28 belongs to Transmissionbt.com, as far as I can tell.
The settings below cause Transmission to report that the port is open.
Code:
WHITE_IP_IN="91.121.74.28"
WHITE_IP_OUT="91.121.74.28"
@lovinglinux: Thanks for taking the time to explain things so well.
My router is set to open the port I am using. Moblock is simply not allowing Transmission to check the status of the port because it is blocking the ip Transmission attempts to connect to.
@jre: I had not even thought about how Transmission determines if a port is open or not. Thanks a lot for the great advice.
