Hello All, I'm hoping somewhere out there has a solution to my problem....
Ok...I have 5 computers behind an NAT router. Basically I want all 5 computers to be able to ACTIVELY connect in DC++. The problem, however, is that DC++ doesn't seem to work when one puts the address of a DynDNS-type service (versus a real dotted decimal IP) in the IP box in settings and I don't want to have to manually update each of the 5 computers everytime my IP changes..
I have no problem running a hub on one computer and having the other 4 connect through that, but is there any hub software out there that would act as a gateway of sorts to allow all the computers to search hubs that the "gateway" is connected to?
Thanks for any help.

Forward a different port for each computer.

A dynamic name will work, I'm using a no-ip.com address and uploading as we speak. You may have to give the dynamic DNS service some time to get everything updated.

Nope, sorry.
