Running a hub from a computer on a router
I'm trying to run a hub using PotkaX from my home so that me and my friends can DL off each other. I have a DSL connection thats running through a linksys router. What do I need to do to run a hub? Thanks!
Set the linksys to forward whatever port the hub is running on to your local machine. The process is the same as setting DC++ for active mode behind a router.

Thanks a lot for the Replies so far. I followed the guide that Xan1977 posted and got the port forwarding set up. I also set up my PtokaX hub up with the hub address being my outside IP. I've tried to have my friends connect but they get "Connection timeout". I had them try connecting in passive mode and in active mode with the IP and port set. I also made sure I didnt have any firewalls enabled. Anyways just wondering if anybody had any other suggestions. Thanks!
