Check out this link for more info about using Direct Connect: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...owse-chat.html
When you click on the Direct Connect tab, you'll see a message showing you your IP address & LW's listening port... that's what your friend has to enter into their LW in order to connect with you. eg if you see ***.***.***.**:#### your IP address shows where the * are & LW's listening port shows after the colon, where the # are. Your friend needs to enter the whole lot, including the colon sign & listening port ![]() If you see the brick wall firewall icon, you won't be able to recieve direct connections. When you click on the Direct Connect tab, you'll see a message like the one below. In that case, you'll need to configure your software firewall to allow LW. If you use a router with an internal firewall, you'll either need to use UPnP if the router supports it, or forward a port within your router. If it turns out that you're firewalled & want help with that, please give us your details. System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!! |

What Is My IP Address? - IP Address Lookup, Internet Speed Test, IP Info, plus more the server location given by the spammer's link is totally incorrect in my case...lol...what a piece of cr@p...
