PFS help.
After setting up pfs on port 8001 say, how would other access it. Do they hafta be on the local network or could they be anywhere? Thanks for any help that can be given.
~peace~
If there is no additional restriction by the program, the port is accessible by all machines which can reach yours.
If you are behind a firewall or router it might block the port or not translate the address from external to internal addresses.

ok the router might be blocking things. What would the address be for the machine though? is there anyway of finding out?
If the networks uses "private" addresses internally and only a few official addresses externally, the router has to map addresses, sometimes called NAT (network address translation)
Configuration of this is router specific, can't provide help here.

ok thanks for the help. I got a warning saying i had a NAT problem with a bit toorent transfer, now i know what it is.
~peace~
This should be easily fixable since most routers provide an easy to use html interface you can generally access by typing the ip 192.168.1.1 into any web browser.
