Hi all,
so what's the deal with e-donkey and overnet? I've installed the overnet client but can't seem to connect to anything.
I'm on a private IP behind a firewall (which has a public static IP). I've opened ports tcp/4661 tcp/4662 udp/3309 udp/4665 in the firewall and see the occasional connection to me on port 3309, which is accepted, but nothing else happens. The overnet client keeps saying "Not Connected".
I also see loads of attempted connections to me on port 61000, which are rejected. I don't think that is related though, googling seems to indicate this is from people infected with some trojan.
I've tried setting the overnet client to use a https proxy (choices are none, socks or https) but doesn't appear to make any difference (and the proxy logs don't show any connections).
One google search result suggested you might have to port forward from the firewall to my client box. Surely this can't be right though? (and I'm not keen on doing it)
So anyone know how to make it work?
ta, Dave.
