All green lights except...

I have two computers that are connected to a router which is connected to a cable modem.

Computer A is seeding/tracking a torrent that I created on it. The light is green. My tracker URL uses my DYNDNS name http://MyDYNdnsName:port/annonce

Computer B is downloading/uploading traffic with other torrents that are tracked elsewhere in the world ... with a "green light" but but the torrent hosted/tracked by Computer A shows no activity. It has a blue light on the torrent seeding/tracking from Computer A

I tried both port forwarding and UPnP which does not help on both computers with their respective ports with no success in getting the blue light to turn green on Computer B

I think computer B sees computer A since the torrent in questions has peers 0 (1).

PS

"Two computers connected to the same router can not be peers with one another."

Is this a true statement? That is what I can conclude from the situation above. If this is not true then what am I missing?

I carried the torrent I created over to a friend's house and tried downloading on his computer. His other torrents that he was downloading worked but the torrent to my Computer A tracker/seeder showed "unavailable".

So it seems that it is something to do with how I have set up my tracker/torrent. I just double checked the port availability under SpeedCheck for Computer A (the tracker/seeder) and it says "OK".

What else can I check?

I checked and this is set right...

bt.enable_tracker: set to "true".

as evidenced by the green light on the torrent

Hmm?? what next to check?
