Re: [SurroundSound] Getting on

Mac users, I have successfully been exploring/browsing users folders, using EiskaltDC++. Whereas before I thought that something was wrong with my firewall settings so that users folders appeared to be unavailable, I I think I was not actually waiting long enough for the actual contents to show up. I also made sure that I had Preferences>Connection>Firewall with port forwarding selected, which I am not sure was the case before. 

Now all I have to do is to identify where I locate files so that others can browse me (not that I have loads and loads as yet) but I hope that is relatively trivial, what with the instructions I received from Lokks.

All the best,

Ben

You likely need to turn on UPnP on your router for that setting to work. (It is sometimes called NAT-PNP or something like that).

It has to be the application as I am not seeing any alerts in  Ptokax which is the hub administration and I did check 5 minutes ago.

Thanks. Unfortunately, this only partially works for me, however. After changing the connection type in Eiskalt, all I get while trying to connect to the hub (that Lokks told me the address of when I first started) is Connecting to Hub > Connected to Hub > Fail: connection closed.

Did you read this bit in my last email?

" This morning I went to the App's preferences and changed "Connection" type from "Active" to "Firewall with UPnP" and managed to download a users share list, search works, and start downloading a file! So all is good for me"

So this is working okay for me now ... without having to forward ports or anything ...

Hi Gary,

So far, I got the same as you! It's the same situation as Shakespeer - I can see users but unable to browse their files or do anything else. That's why I taught it must be my firewall settings or something.

I will keep on trying, and if I get anywhere I will let you (and the group) know.

Regards,

Ben

Hey Ben

Did you have any luck with EiskaltDC++? 

I installed it last night and managed to login to the Hub and saw all the users but wasn't able to;

- download/browse anybody's shares

- search not getting any results 

This morning I went to the App's preferences and changed "Connection" type from "Active" to "Firewall with UPnP and managed to download a users share list, search works, and start downloading a file! So all is good for me.

Thanks for pointing this App out. Maybe I can shut my PC down again!

Cheers

Thanks Gary, Stephen and others. I have found a program called EiskaltDC++ with which I am going to try and persevere!

I am also going to look more closely than I have in the past into Windows emulation. I'll let the group know how I get on...

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
