Sorry for my ignorance, how do you check/set port 4242 in your wallet.

One of the simplest methods to open the port is to use a uTorrent: go to "Preferences" >> "Connection", opposite the "Port used for incoming connections" put 4242 and click on "Ok".

To check is your port opened or closed: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ , http://ping.eu/port-chk/.
If this method is not working for you but you want to open the port for incoming connections,  send me in PM your router model and firewall name and I will try to help you.


Thanks for that reply.  Indeed the port was closed.  I set it and port 2121 open on the computer where the wallets are.  Interesting that once a static address is made, the process is simple on my router.  Thank you for the advice.

One other question.  Setting the conf file to 2121 & daemon to 1 & address to 127.0.0.1, how is the best way to check it is working? The console doesn't seem to provide much help.
