NAT stands for Network Address Translation. The network, which includes your router and computer, needs to translate the Internet Protocol address of your router (with its own IP address) to and from the IP address of your computer (with its own IP address). The router directs traffic to different computers connected to it and can be configured to protect you from specified traffic. It can use port forwarding to redirect data packets to a different address. The address known by the outside world (Wider Area Network, or WAN) is the IP address of your router, which redirects packets according to your instructions to your Local Area Network (LAN) address, or the local IP address of your computer.
When you get the "NAT Error," your NAT is not set up correctly.
If you have both a firewall and a router, you need to forward the ports in BOTH
ISP's have been increasingly reducing the available bandwidth for P2P users on the standard file-sharing port ranges. You may find you need to keep changing your port on a regular basis. This is normal, and a port change should sort you out if this is indeed what is happening. And please keep in mind that after any port change, and stopping and restarting any torrent, it may take up to half an hour or more for the benefits to become noticeable. So please try not to panic when things do not improve immediately. This is normal.
