Okay, sort of hijacking this thread FAO Parsifal. Soz.
I want to run a relay for Tor. I'm running Linux Mint, and my router is a Huawei E586 (mobile internet router). I can access all its settings, and I've disabled any firewall stuff I can see. When I do the port forwarding test on Tor, it says all is well. However, after a while, I get the following:

As I have very little in the way of know-how, I don't really (you guessed it) know how to go about solving the problem. I'm trying real hard Ringo to be the shepherd etc, but there appear to be some technical difficulties.
Also FES just logged me out and did bad things to my post, so if I've forgotten anything, berate me and I shall provide.
