![]() Thanks for the reply. You wrote: >those IP Ranges 192.168.0.xxx are also used when running a >firewall.

I guess you're right, it woudn't make sense for those with dynamic IP addresses. >also you can get files from the LAN IPs with PUSH (not if you >have a firewall yourself)... I do have a firewall, so this isn't an options for me. >I have a LAN and a firewall and I can connect and >download/upload. I am curious to know, have you EVER managed to download from an IP address 192.168.xxx.xxx? I haven't. In fact I suspect that those addresses generate download requests to nonexistent computers inside my private network. Many files are tagged with those IP addresses, and invariably a download request from one of those addresses will fail. I guess what I really want is a feature that hides any search results associated with those private-network addresses. For me, being behind a firewall, those addresses will never work. -Alex |
