No one has yet mentioned the possible problem of one or more of the users who wish to 'direct connect' having 'Dynamic' versus 'Static' IPs...
Most of the better Gnutella Network clients provide "easy" ways to make a 'direct connection'...
Another simple way to do 'direct connects' is by using a suitable 'chat program'...
mIRC is one that I would recommend very strongly...
(Because KathW is a renowned expert on it and is an absolute pro in the 'hand-holding' stages of learning to use it... !!!
I know she uses it for direct connecting... Normally with me ! LOL )
Last thing for now...
Be sure to use some form of chat when you are doing the 'direct connects' with any of the Gnutella clients...
It's essential if you don't want to go crazy trying to figure out how to do it !!! |
