TrapJaw & KatGirl . . I appreciate your posts and am still working on getting my rig configured correctly. It is frustrating seeing so many in-coming requests for the very mp3s I have in my shared folder . . to no avail. I'll keep this puppy running for HOURS and no uploads; I've the "force IP" option set; but no uploads. Constructive suggestions appreciated. Mahalo (thank you.) (174 days and I'm retired, out of Maine, and back in Hawaii .. going HOME .. ) but, who's counting?? Aloha, NoKaOi . .
