Default How to allow others to browse/direct connect?

When I chose the "Direct Connect" option, it informs me that my computer is behind a firewall or router that will not receive direct connections.

But my friend wants to access my shared files w/o having to download everything again. How do I allow direct connection?

You can try to set your router or firewall to allow incoming connections, but it will depend on your set up.

Here's a link to help you get started--wish there could be an easier answer (sorry)
