okay... I have my fingers X'd for a MUCH earlier date, but guys, my birthday is June 24th.
If I can't have it before then, it would make a nice birthday present! :D

As I have mentioned in other posts here, you only need to forward one port for this program thru your router for udp and tcp for the program to function correctly. I have tried testing those ports on the test site, but the results have been questionable. The only real test is if you can get a filelist from someone and they can get yours.
IF you are behind a router and CAN access it to do portforwarding, you'll find thing works just fine.
If you cannot access the router, don't worry! Passive mode also works fine if you simply remember you can only interact with active mode users.
How to tell an active or passive mode user?? Look at their tag.
This is an active mode tag, notice the 'A' after the M: (m is for mode): <PWDC++ V:0.41,M:A,H:2/4/2,S:2>
To compare, this is a passive mode tag, notice the 'P' after the M: <PWDC++ V:0.4,M:P,H:2/0/0,S:2>
I hope this helps some of you,

a word about portforwarding: you actually only need to forward one port thru your router or firewall, personally I use port 11112 for both upd and tcp. I set this in connection setting for the program and I set it up in my router. Since I often host two hubs as well as op or admin in several others, I was surprised to find that this really was adequate for the program. But since I do all of this AND have been using this program successfully with those settings for several months, I am now quite confident in it.

i saw that and i have checked the box but i still cant stop my external ip from chanhging then have to update dc settingsTrue, your external ip is up to your provider as to how often and when it changes. Mine won't usually change as long as I'm online, but if I do shut down, my first stop when I reboot is whatsmyip.org and I enter it manually in the program. There are some other solutions but I find that the most reliable.

There is a very simple fix for the program picking up your internal ip: Simpley check the box ' do not allow hub/UPnP to override.
I'm sorry you didn't see it w/ all the settings there are in this highly customizable program. But it is right there in connection settings.

HiForgive me if this is not correct place for this topic
I' have been using a good version of Strongdc, but decided I'd try out peerweb again
I have a router and have port forwarding done
if i go into settings
i tick firewall with manual port forwarding
i put 1610 in tcp box
and 1611 in udp box
there was a number/adress in the external wan ip box, but it wasn't the correct one
I copied the correct one from
i then clicked okay
if i open settings again, the new adress is still there
but if i close down and come back the old adress is there.
---------------------------------------
ok i've found out what causes the problem
autoupdate ipadress on startup
so I've gone back to strongdc

okay peeps, I love the 'window dressing' but frankly, the icon could be a square black box.... it's the guts of the program that interests me. I own a couple of hubs and am active in many more, including TGO. where I'm doing PWDC support. I'm hoping Apex DC is going to make my job easier and faster. However, it is nice to know that the mainchat screen won't blind me! Keep up the good work and don't consider this criticism
Locop.s. how do I get rid of that newbie icon??? I'm not new to any of this! lol :lol:

now I feel like an idiot!! But I took your advice about changing colors (not red and green, thank you) but changed color for passive mode users so they're easy to spot. Very good suggestion :)
