Direct connect - Best. file. sharing. program. ever.

I heard about this before, and downloaded it beaming with excitement.

But, alas, I'm a retarded.

My roommate networked my house with DSL so we are all using the same DSL through an actual network (not just his computer, but an actual external hub and router)

I don't know if that's what's making it impossible for me to connect to any public hubs, or what. I'm clueless about specific IP addresses, hubs, blah blah blah, or how to set up the software to work through the router/firewall he's got going up there.

You either a) have to put direct connect into passive mode in the settings or b) change your network settings to force certain ports to come thru. I think you should open ports 410-420.

And DC is good but still newsgroups cannot be surpassed for the warez factor. I don't know I'm just old skool.
