Check out this link for more info about using Direct Connect: How to use Bitzi Web Lookup .. & How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect/Browse/Chat

When you click on the Direct Connect tab, you'll see a message showing you your IP address & LW's listening port... that's what your friend has to enter into their LW in order to connect with you.

eg if you see ***.***.***.**:#### your IP address shows where the * are & LW's listening port shows after the colon, where the # are. Your friend needs to enter the whole lot, including the colon sign & listening port

If you see the brick wall firewall icon, you won't be able to recieve direct connections. When you click on the Direct Connect tab, you'll see a message like the one below. In that case, you'll need to configure your software firewall to allow LW. If you use a router with an internal firewall, you'll either need to use UPnP if the router supports it, or forward a port within your router.
