Thanks. Technical Question Thanks for the FAQ pointers, but I'd like to get a bit more technical than the FAQs did.
As might be suggested by the FAQs, gnutella doesn't seem to get the hint when a peer disconnects. Perhaps it was created in an environment mostly consisting of static IP addresses?
On the other hand, there could be something wrong with the setup of my firewall software. Is there some sort of protocol response my machine should send back that would make gnutella realize it should probably give up? It looks like I'm probably sending back "destination unreachable" messages, but do I need to allow incoming "echo" packets as well?
P.S. Is there a better place to ask such a technical question?
