Re: [SurroundSound] Getting on

Sorry I've been busy of late and haven't responded. It is likely a port issue, though I'm not entirely sure how to help, as the way to deal with that is a bit different on every router/firewall. If you have the option to turn on UPnP or NAT-PNP or something similar that may let you use Shakespeer. Otherwise you may need to figure out how to forward ports (you'll need to figure out how to forward the port that Shakespeer is using, which you can find or set in the Network section of the preferences), to your computer (you may need to give your computer a fixed IP address too). You can probably find instructions on how to do it for your router if you do some googleing.

Shakespeer is very old but I haven't found a single other Mac Hub client that works, so it's what I use. I expect next year when Mac OS stops supporting 32-bit applications I'm going to just be out of luck unless I want to run an entire Virtual machine just to keep my hub software running (or I just don't upgrade but eventually I'll want/need to).

Hey Ben

I remember trying to use Shakespeer but not having any luck with it. You'll notice that the last version was released in 2013 and a lot has changed with MacOS since then, I'm surprised it even launches at all!

i recommend you visit https://sourceforge.net/projects/shakespeer/ and see if you can find a different DC++ App to use. 

I wasn't too concerned about not having Shakespeer work on my Mac because I also have a PC and there's no problem with that.

You could try and PC emulator on your Mac to get a Windows client to work. Check this out https://www.iphonetopics.com/windows-emulator-for-mac/

Hi,

I wonder, does anyone know how I can get onto the hub and start contributing? I can successfully log into ShakesPeer and see many users, but I cannot browse their files, so I think that my firewall etc. settings are not correct (I am new to Port Forwarding and so on)

I am using a Mac.

Kind regards all,

Ben
