Gotta agree with Scribble here, one of the only people I trust when it comes to your money links to places we haven't heard of before. I'll give it a try.

What OS ?

When you open Blubster an the bottom centre of the application the text should quickly change from “Connecting…” to “Connected to the Blubster”. . If this does not happen you have not successfully configured Blubster.

This can be remedied in many cases by doing one or both of these two actions:

1.- Turn off any firewall software that you currently have running. In the case of XP users this could be running without your knowledge. To stop this, follow these instructions:
• Right click on the network connections settings icon in the bottom right of your screen and left click on “Open Network Connections”
• Right click on your current network connection icon and left click on “Properties”.
• Left click on the tab marked “Advanced”
• Uncheck the “Internet Firewall Protection” box and click “OK”
• You will now need to shut down Blubster and restart. You will also need to close your current Internet connection and re-connect for these changes to be applied.

2.- You may find that this does not solve the problem. If this is so then you may need to change your port configuration in your router settings.
• Protocol: UDP.
• Port: 41170
Action: Allow inbound traffic, redirect to your computer.

iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p udp --dport 41170:41350 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 41170:41350 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -t nat -p udp --dport 41170:41350 -j DNAT --to 190.666.6.6 iptables -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -t nat -p tcp --dport 41170:41350 -j DNAT --to 190.666.6.6
