Hey guys,

One of my friends is in Mumbai (GKP) using genstar (local cable) cable internet.. I guess Genstar has its own HUB for DC++.

Is there any chance if i connect wid that friend thru DC++..well i know the speed would be very less due to Internet and not Intranet..!! But atleast by any chance can i connect thru him..
*** Connecting to 172.*.*.*... (his IP)
*** A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

So what can be done..coz havent used DC++ ever..Just d/ld it today..and was trying it when he was online from there..??

Am i missing something with my settings...??

Regards,
Dipen
 
You'll need to have the same service provider & need to have your IP configured in the same sequential address like your friends one.Only then can you connect to it via Internet.

EG: If your friend's IP is,say, 192.168.23.45 & your's is 203.225.65.32 then both of you are miles apart.You'll need to set it in the same range i.e. 192.168.xx.xx the last ports can be filled by any 2 digit numbers but the first 2 should be in the common sequence.

Bottom line if his cable provider provides him Sify connection then even you need to have Sify as your ISP.Else your IP's won't match at all even if you manually try & change it.

Well i am using Airtel GPRS....so my Ip is Shared one...and static too..so i cannot change it..!!

And he has some genstar connection...so i am not sure if his changing IP would help either..!!

Any other options..?
