A much better idea to get IPs of other gnutella clients -> use a gnutella host cache [3].

Hi, I am not quite understand what this mean. When I start gnutella, I use gnutella host cache to collect IPs of other gnutella servent. THen I ping these servent to connect gnutella network and collect other Pongs. Is this correct way? What is "... finally you get a high amount of IPs which do not allow incoming connections" mean? WHy these IP do not allow incoming connections? Thanks.
