I think for default you need to open 411-413 TCP/UDP? I'm not at home so I can't check my setup.

Or you can change to different ports in the settings and then open up those instead on your router.

nope, in DC++ you need to specify a port number along with your external IP address in the settings, then forward that port (both TCP and UDP) to your computer.

@cpu: Is that only for braodband users? What if I don't have a router? Does it still apply?

nope, in DC++ you need to specify a port number along with your external IP address in the settings, then forward that port (both TCP and UDP) to your computer.

In older versions, I thought there was just a default port, like other apps (ie 6881 for BT)... I guess this has changed for the newer releases....

haha, I just had to choose "Passive" in the connection settings, thats all. now everything works good.

Yeh, that works, except you wont be able to connect to any other "passive" users.

@Fowler: you only need to set IP/port settings if you're behind a router...dialup users, or broadband users without a router are uneffected.

and modestas, you can set whatever port you like in the Port textbox...then forward that one (both TCP/UDP) to your computer. active connections are better than passive connections...hawkburn told you why :)

for example: 411 and 413?

sure, that should work...but last i checked you only needed one port.
