Re: Firewall Issues?

I noticed on the Karl Denson torrent, everyone is firewalled so no one can connect to each other. I tried to hook up and then decided to reboot the server to see if that would help (I've noticed a few people having a hard time 'getting started' on torrents these days) but now I see you aren't currently seeding that one so I can't see if it's moving along now.

Saltman is correct about needing a static IP on your computer to forward your ports. Many routers will allow you to have dynamic and static IPs on your network. You simply tell it that if a computer wants a dynamic one, they get one over, say, 192.168.1.200, which leaves you 192.168.1.2-198.168.1.199 for static IPs. So, tell your computer to be static and give it an IP and then forward the ports to that one IP.
