For ON-CAMPUS people:
We recommend the use of s-tunnel for connecting to twofo from on campus. Details on how to use and where to find it can be found on the homepage of this wiki - http://www.twofo.co.uk/wiki. If you are having problems searching and downloading once connected to the hub, please try the following:
First go to http://checkip.dyndns.org/ and copy your IP. Next go into DC++ and under File -> Settings -> Connection Settings select 'Direct Connection' and paste your IP into the 'External/WAN IP box'. Leave the port boxes blank.
If it has worked previously, and no longer works now, PLEASE CHECK YOUR IP HAS NOT CHANGED!
If this doesn't work, check your firewall settings. Many firewalls will not allow connections to be made to or from DC++ for transfers or searches if there is no exception rule. There are instructions above for setting up the Windows Firewall to allow DC++.
NB. On the older versions of DC++ (<0.674), there are only two options, Active and Passive. You should be using Active mode.
If you wish to block off campus connectiosn to DC++ then please see this page
