Firewall Problems
 

Installed Gnotella today and made 1300 high quality MP3s available, but I can see that there are no uploads. I also have a personal firewall utility, but have granted Gnotella full rights to receive from and send to the internet. Any one any ideas how to setup Gnotella/firewall to allow access to my files??

I'd like to give as well as take from the network!

Cheers

S'Ok, fixed it myself. The firewall was preventing echo requests and replies (as these where for ICMP not for Gnutella itself). Now working fine and seeing lots of uploads ;).

As an aside, Gnutella network is meant to be anonymous, but I can see the IP addresses of incoming requests (sometimes with an associated machine name), if this is the IP address of the requestor, how can the network be anonymous - or have a missed a crucial point?

Cheers, Jon

Jon,

If there is one thing Gnutella isn't, it's anonymous. If you're offering some pretty exclusive copywrited stuff don't be surprised if your ISP gets a letter from someone in the music or motion picture industry.
