getting throught the firewall

[stevedave]

how do you get through the fire wall?
I heard that you need to find the port number, but how do you do that?
I'm using shadow's experimental if that helps.

BT is using port range's between 6881 and 6900...

This thing dosen't work for my router, but it works with most of 'em, I can only open one port at the time but go to your web browser and type your external ip, 192.1.xx.xxx something like that, then configurate from there.

Thanks!
I'll try to see if I can figure that out ^_^

hmm what was it, only tcp? , 6881-6889 normally?, Should I give it a try, open one port at the time, will it work? and you fowarding it with your external ip (192.xx.xx.xxx) ?
