Default Other user cant access my files

I want to exchange files with a user in USA. After many attempts I have finally disconnected the firewall/router and now have a direct cable connection. The other party has a firwall and has enabled "push or was it force IP ".

He still cant find my files. I have tried to access the same files from the office without success. However I have seen 'regular' files being uploaded.

Any clues ?

carr: send your buddy a magnet:

control-click once on the file you wish him to find, get magnet details, then email the magnet link.

Peerless can also tell you about entering each other's IP's in the connections tab

both methods can easily be disrupted, but sounds like your buddy is blocked.

Does this work with the free version or only with the full version?

I'd think it should work with both: just try it. Onc the details show in your browser, copy the magnet to an email and send it to your friend.

If you are firewalled, your magnet links won't work.

Ive taken my router out of the loop and firewall is disabled on my Mac..

Does the firewall need to be disabled at the other end too?

Default Browsing

Is it possible to locate a host and browse the contents by using the IP address only?

Im having difficulty understanding why my collaborator cant get files from me
