DCD is written in such a way that it does not matter if you have a dynamic address or a static address. You can get to both via EXTERN_IP. Type these two commands in a file or execute them and the DCD command prompt to get your current ip address. . /etc/network.conf echo $EXTERN_IP That should answer the first part of the FAQ. Write a letter to them and tell'em that sucks. But what to you expect from vbscript? http://www.neo-modus.com/?page=Help Q: I have a NATing router and would like to set Direct Connect up for active mode. What ports does it use? A: By default, Direct Connect Uses port 412 for TCP and UDP data. This can be changed in the Direct Connect settings. To make Direct Connect work properly with your NATing router, you must enter your routers WAN IP address in Direct Connect's "Force Direct Connect to report this IP address" text box, and check associated check box. To answer the second part of their FAQ, please look at both EXTERN_UDP_PORTS and EXTERN_TCP_PORTS as found in /etc/network.conf. This is what Joey is pointing you to. This is where you would setup your port forwarding on 412. Some other people have written scripts to support dynamic ips that support many of these dynamic ip servers. That will help if you want to get into hubs someday. Q: I want to run a Direct Connect™ Hub, but my IP address changes every time I sign online. What can I do? A: You will need to use a service like Dynip. Your fun is just beginning. I hope this helps you get going.
