i am having a problem using Direct connect. how do i even figure out the IP. is this my normal IP address or is it a LW address assigned to each of us? can someone help me through this.

The IP address that you see in the 'Direct Connect' is yours and yours alone. Each person has their own IP address.

thanks a lot, when i press dirrect connect and see the 15 digit IP that is the IP i should tell a friend to log on to to download my music???

You got it!

the part that has the IP then it goes :xxxx (the four extra digits. it has to be entered exactly as is?

thanks alot
appreciate it

The numbers has to be entered in the order that they appear. If the last four numbers are :1234 then that's the order that they have to be.

Hi all
With direct connect, what is the way around both parties being behind a firewall (Router with cable in my case...software firewall with other party). Both of us are getting the message 'Your computer is behind a firewall or router and cannot receive direct connections.' when the Direct Connection tab is clicked-on.
Can it be done still and could anyone possibly go through how with me?
Many thanks
Lindsay
