Tor client not recognizing port forwarding



Hello all,

I'm currently trying to set up a Tor relay. Now although I have
verified that connecting to that port/ip from an external host is
working, it still reports in the log file:
Your server (81.173.185.130:9001) has not managed to confirm that its
ORPort is reachable
A corresponding web search came up empty so I hope that maybe someone
here can help me. Do I need to configure port forwarding for another
port?
Maybe there's even some way to tell Tor to use UPNP to forward ports
as required? If not, would you be interested in a patch which does
this? (I just took a peek at the source of the Transmission BitTorrent
client which does this and it seems be very straightforward to
implement)

Best regards
Marcus
