Howdy all
I have been trying to do some "sharing" lately and have run into a problem i was hoping you guys could help me out with.
The client i am using to "share" continuously shows a yellow face, which possibly means that i have a NAT problem. The thing is i am using Win 2000 not XP so i don't think there is a firewall is there?? Also i am not using a router.
Here is some info from the client FAQ
The smiley faces are indicators for what is going on with your sharing. The yellow smiley is an indicator that, although your system is able to initiate connections with other peers (known as local connections, or L), you are not able to receive connections initiated from other peers (known as remote connections, or R). When you are not able to receive remote connections, this is nearly always to do with incorrectly forwarded ports, from your router or firewall. You can see the L's and R's in the Details view of your individual torrent tabs. If you only see L connections, chances are you have a Port Forwarding problem. Green smileys mean that you have both L and R connections to peers, and that you are connected to the tracker.
Because of this my DL speed and upload speed is really bad like 10kB/sec.
I have changed the port that the client uses a few times incaser my provider was throttling it, and still no difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
