cant connect to my own hub
weird huh. just set it up today, had to switch hosts from a buddy of mine's system to mine. other users can connect, but i get *** Connection refused by target machine. i dont get it. any ideas? DC++ is what im using to connect, and neo-modus Direct Connect Hub to serve. I am behind a router, but DMZ is setup and i can connect to other hubs and users w/o a problem. HELP!!!!

what router you usin?
ive just had pretty much the same prob and only just worked out what was causin it, anyway, the chances are you wont be able to connect from outside your LAN, in this case you can connect to it from within your LAN (i am takin a guess youve got 1 comp with the client on and 1 comp with the hub on)
so instead of tryin to connect to xxxxx.no-ip.com (or somethin equivalent) connect to 192.168.x.x (whatever IP your hub comp has got) doin it this way, you can download from people from your hub but you have to set it all up, i havent done that yet, but im sure someone can explain it better

external IP umm you're sure ?greasy wrote:ok, i got in using my external ip. i just wonder if anyone else is having problems getting in, we only have had about half as many users as normal since we switched it over to my system. thanks for the help, by the way.
it usualy 127.0.0.1:port or internal IP of puter running the hub :port
unless you have a way to resolve external DNS from inside your network.
or this is a puter that is directly connect to internet without a router/gateway.
external IP:port in DC++ active setting have noting to do with connecting to the hub.
i ask because hub port in DC++ active setting will prevent DC++ to work properly ,no up/dl and share list.
