i posted this question back in december, but didnt get any good answers so i am trying again(that was also back in ver 1.6)

i am trying to connect to a specific host and cant seem to establish a connection. i add the person's ip address in the connections tab, click add, and wait...

it never connects though. tries for about 20 seconds then times out.

can this even be done? am i doing something wrong? it seems logical that you would be able to do this.
