if you already have it working on another machine, did you have to open
those ports to that particular machine on your firewall? If so, you will
need to choose another port range and map that port range to your debian
box in order to use bt there too. then you'll need to configure the
client to use the alternate port range. Use --minport and --maxport
args.
