Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default 2 Gnutellas behind NAT Router

Is there any problem running 2 Gnutella clients behind a NAT Router at the same time?

Default hmmm

No, if you mean both in the same LAN (e.g. at home) and want to trade with each other or internet.

But you can't download from other servants behind another NAT router. The Gnutella PUSH does not work if both sides are masqueraded/firewalled, because both can't handle incoming TCP connections (the NAT router has no idea how route/map such new incoming connections). One solution are explicit forwarding rules for every client in the LAN, plus using a FORCE_IP feature in your client. It will also improve your download success. Another solution would be a using a Gnutella proxy or NAT addons, but we do not have such things yet AFAIK.

PS: How about Gnutella clients using an traditional Socks 4/5 proxy, will they handle new incoming connections correct? Hmm, I guess not.

Trademark95, it should work fine. But only one should be able to accept incoming connections I believe.

Also, if the Gnutella clients are run on individual machines, each with a static private IP address, then one of the clients can connect to the other client, whom in turn is connected to GNet outside the network. You know what I mean? It'll save you a little bandwidth that way too.

Default I like your idea

I like your idea of having one client connect to the other. I don't think it will work very well for me because I don't have a dedicated server and both computers restart often. But thanks for the advice.

P.S. I sent you a PM a couple days ago about your client.

Oh? Please explain, maybe I understood something wrong. How could you download when: you are behind NAT router + your opponent is behind a NAT router (no forwarding rules or tunneling, just plain old NAT)? I mean both of you can't handle a incoming connection, how do you initiate a file request?

sorry ... I think I misunderstood something ... though you were just talking about your clients sitting behind a NAT router, not caring about the client at the other end ...

Moak you are right as always ultra
