In my experience (with Tor users), this typically happens because there's some sort of firewall running locally. Windows has a mode where it helpfully locks down local connections; and Fedora Core ships with a default SELinux configuration that prevents many processes from talking to each other locally. I imagine there are other examples of default firewalls -- and most users don't even know they have them installed. Usually telling the user to "turn off your firewall, no really" is sufficient. --Roger _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
