Hi!

those IP Ranges 192.168.0.xxx are also used when running a firewall. That means it is a security feature. the force IP is not usefull in cases of a changing external IP address, like for dial-ups and even most DSL/Cable users.
users would have to enter the IP everytime they run limewire.

also you can get files from the LAN IPs with PUSH (not if you have a firewall yourself)...
I have a LAN and a firewall and I can connect and download/upload.

I think Limewire will feature to guess the real IP of a client. that is done by checking the IP with which the network communicates with a client - then the broadcasted IP (the 192.168...) is not relevant for connections.


mahalo, shorebreak
