				<h1>How do I Port Forward?</h1>
			</div>
				<p>If your router supports NAT-PMP, UPnP, or you have Apple AirPort, Transmission can map its port automatically. Most routers manufactured since 2001 have this feature.
				<div summary="To do this" id="taskbox">
					<ol>
						<li>Open Transmission. </li>
						<li>Go to Preferences -> Network, and check 'Automatically map port'. </li>
						<li>If you get a green dot and 'Port is Open' then you have successfully port forwarded!</li>
						<p>If you get a red dot and the message 'Port is closed', <a href="troubleshoot.html">click here</a>.</li>
					</ol>				
				</div>


				<p>If you don't have a compatible router, it is simple to forward Transmission's port manually. For instructions <a href="pfrouter.html">click here</a>.</li>
				<p>If you don't use a router, and your modem is directly connected to your computer, you'll need to open Transmission's port in the Mac OS X firewall. For instructions <a href="pffirewall.html">click here</a>.<br><br>
				<b>Note:</b> It is highly recommended you enable the Mac OS X firewall if you are not using a router.</li>
			<p>Keep in mind that many DSL modems also function as routers, so port forwarding may still be necessary, even though your computer is directly connected to the modem.
