New Transmission 2.84 add-on for ReadyNAS Duo/NV+ (sparc)
This is a newly compiled version for the Duo straight from source. It has been configured with "--disable-nls --enable-lightweight --enable-utp" and the default web interface port of 9091. If it do...

I am also suffering from this issue. I have been for about a week, but I had things so screwed up from my deb-package making attempts that I didn't worry much about it. Just finished a full and complete factory reset after backing up my data, installed the transmission 2.84 addon and am now showing the port as closed. uPnP is enabled on the router, and no peers on any torrent. The NAS has internet connectivity, tested as good.

I've recently got ReadyNAS 104 - same here. 'Could not connect to the tracker' and - what obvious - no peers. Redirected port was displayed as 'closed' in Transmission (2.84) client. DHT worked well though, so the torrents were running.
The solution for me was to set IP adress to DHCP again (and to do address reservation on my DHCP service to get desired IP address).
Static IP has given some severe problems: I wasn't even able to install any app from the 'webshop'.
Try that, hope that helps.

If you are forwarding ports, then you either need static addresses or address reservation. Address Reservation is the better approach. Even w/o port forwarding, it is helpful to have a consistent IP address for the NAS.
jbartczak: The most common cause for your app install problem (with static IP) is failing to configure the DNS servers for your NAS. Misconfiguring the gateway address/subnet mask will also do it. A good test of the static IP configuration is to have the NAS check for new firmware.

Yup, it makes sense - tracker could't be connected to, cause it's adress couldn't be 'translated'. DHT protocol use only pure IP adresses, so it runs smoothly without DNS.
