Well, if you use `--permanent` the setting won't take effect until after firewalld (or your computer) is restarted, but starting and stopping firewalld like you did to test it should have taken care of that. (You can call `firewall-cmd` without `--permanent` to get the settings to take effect immediately.) Do you have a router in between your machine? You might need to open/forward the port in that too. Otherwise, transmission-gtk might be lying about the port being open. (I've been using Deluge instead of Transmission for what seems like ages now, but I do recall the port open checking thingy in Transmission not working so good before.) Try checking the port with `nmap` or ShieldsUP [1] and see if that reports it as open. -T.C.
