  1. I'm trying to connect to a hub from my school. My school doesn't have many open ports, but it does have a few, such as 5190 for AIM and some ports for World of Warcraft. Shouldn't this mean I should be able to successfully connect to any hub I want?

    Right now I'm trying to connect with "Firewall (passive, worst case)" checked with the port 5190 in the DHT/UDP box with no luck. I've tried a few other things but I was mainly just screwing around with the settings. Didn't really know what I was doing.

    Any ideas?

    Are you sure that the ports you can use from the intranet of your school are availble anytime from the outside? Are you not, then you need a portscan to verify it. But here i warn you, i do not know, if a portscan from a host your a not the owner is legal in your country!!!

    Reason that it not able to connect from the outside ist that your school using port triggering, that means that only if there an active service internal the port to external sources will be open, means if you try to connect to Blizzard server about port 6112 it is open, if you are not it will be still closed. If your school is using port triggering forget it, because a service like dchub is passiv and waiting for active connection from the outside. Therefore ftp need port forwarding as well.


  2. First thanks fpr ApecDc++.

    To the thing with the forced auto update. I am alright that the software checks for updates, but i am not alright that i have to do it even i only want to check if someone online on my private hub. But my prob would be harmless, if you add that apecdc++ downloads the files itselfs, when you say okay "upgrade now" or sth. like that.

    In any way go so on.
