As long as we're asking lots of questions...
(using LW 2.4.4, W2k, cable)
1) I see lots of people talking about the number of hosts they have connected, but any time I look at my connections tab, all I have is a bunch of questions marks in the "Hosts" column. Somebody said that Morpheus ultrapeers will ruin the LimeWire host count, but even when I remove all the non-LW hosts, there is no count. Might there be a reason?
2) Since I'm behind a firewall, I chose to force an IP address. According to ipconfig, my IP address is 192.168.1.102. However, I see that address coming up in my searches, as well as .101 and .102 (which appear to be my roommates computers, but they are not sharing the files that show up in my searches). I would assume that this isn't really the right address to push, so is there any way that I can find a more effective way to get around my firewall?
3) Isn't TTL usually "time to live"?
4) Regarding Moe's question about adding a host IP, is there any way to set a particularly quick host to a higher priority or anything like that? I just tried adding a certain IP to my hosts list, but I guess they weren't set up for ultrapeer capabilities and it couldn't establish a connection. It's rare for me to acheive 60 kB/s, so when I find a good connection, I'd like to be able to keep up with it.
Thanks in advance,
