how can i correctly set up a file sharing hub

[andreasaspenberg]

all online searched have proved useless so i ask here. please help me out. it is only the connection stuff i need help with though. i already have the software and that is ynhub 1.033. i need help running it through a router.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Consult the software authors for help not us. Setting up a file sharing hub is not something that we would have experience of. Sure I know how to write file sharing software but that does not help with existing software.

It is always best to start with the people who wrote the software as no one knows it better than them.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the author cant be contacted. there is a forum but that is empty so i cant ask for help there either. please help me out.

i have tried to search for a solution but that didnt give me anything. i already wrote that though. i dont need an account somewhere because the hub is running on my pc. i just need to know how i can get a connection between the hub and dc++ working.

 

[Paliouras]

Whatever,you ask for a solution and when people try to help you you just turn their solutions down because it uses another method

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i havent been offered a solution so far but if you offered one i could possibly use it. you suggested searching and that turned up negative. a file sharing hub runs on a computer so a copy account wouldnt help. have any real solutions i can try?

 

[Paliouras]

It provides cloud service,so you can have access whenever you want.Isn't that what you want?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i dont want a cloud service. what i want is to run a hub where i am in charge and where people can connect to share files with each others.(files without copyright protection.)

 

[Paliouras]

A google search that took 30seconds provided me with
http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i already have that software. i am however unable to establish a connection between that and the hub for some reason. i wrote in the first post that i only need help with the connection stuff.

 

[Paliouras]

Of course why use the updated file that comes with a tutorial and is supported by the creators while I have the 2008 version?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i am running the latest version of dc++.

 

[Paliouras]

Then just use that tutorial if you have the last version

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i tried to read the help file but it didnt help. i still cant connect to my own hub. i dont have the slightest idea what i am missing either.

Watch/read everything,it has everything you want

 

[Dr Super Good]

You do not want a hub. Switches are far faster as they allow full duplex communication without any collisions.

I think you are using the wrong terminology. In any case are you behind a NAT? If so you may need to assign some mappings so it knows to redirect the required traffic to the server.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

how do i do that correctly?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Consult the software user manual to identify which ports are used for communication. Then consult the router (which usually has the NAT built in) user manual to figure out how to port forward. You can consult your local Ethernet connection under network adapters to discover what local IP your computer has.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

that actually worked but, i had to greatly reconfigure the router and disable UPnP.(could that cause any negative effects.)

 

[Dr Super Good]

I am not sure UPnP should need to be disabled just to set up some NAT entries. However even if it is it should not affect anything next to media sharing between mobile devices and computers (a service that I do not use as I am too old for it (not facebook generation).

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the router demanded it in order to forward the required ports. i dont have a mobile phone so if that is affected it doesnt concern me.

i tried to read the help file but it didnt help. i still cant connect to my own hub. i dont have the slightest idea what i am missing either.

and we don't have any idea of what you did either... don't expect anyone to be able to help you when you didn't even discuss what you tried to do so far...

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i believe that the hub is currently working but i could use some outside help testing if people can connect to it from the internet. it have been running for days without anybody joining which could mean that there is an issue that i cant detect. if you would help me test if it works the address is andwet.no-ip.org. you are able to connect you can just leave right away but if not please tell me what error message you get. you need dc++ to connect to it.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Well no one is joining because why should they? I mean I set up a D3 clan that anyone can join without even asking and yet no one has joined, ever.

You have not even explained what you have set up... Is it a torrent tracker or something?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

it is a direct connect hub where people are connected to a central host first and then connects directly to other users. it has nothing to do with torrent. all i asked for was help with testing it to make sure that everything works. update: i have trouble using the hub in active mode. what am i doing wrong.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Sorry I cannot connect WC3 to it. It might help if you mentioned what kind of client connects to the server.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

dc++ is needed to connect to it. i did write that in an earlier post though. i am now up and so is the hub.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i found an issue. i tried searching for the hub but didnt find it so it appears that it isnt on any public hub lists. how can i make it so that it is on public hub lists?

I would advise asking the developers of the file sharing software. Most open source developers will happily help you with installation and configuration on their message boards.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the developer of the hub software i use have abandoned it completely and is therefore unable to help me.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Maybe find a "hub software" that has not been abandoned and is actively supported. The very fact it is abandoned likely means that it has been made obsolete or was never finished to start with.

How do you expect us to be able to help you with something virtually no one uses? We can only state the obvious as that is as far as our knowledge on this particular software goes.

Make sure all the required communication ports have mappings in the NAT and that the mappings are for the right protocol (TCP is not UDP, they are very different). Also make sure your firewall is not blocking any communications from the server process.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the firewall cant block anything when it is offline. i cant find any other software that can be downloaded. you are welcome to suggest software that is better though. there is lots of hubs in the world and the hub list contains more than 500. the ports are forwarded in the router. i can connect to it myself but it doesnt appear on the list of hubs so it like needs to be registered there somehow but i dont know how. port forwarding in my router forwards ports through both tcp and udp by default.

 

[GhostWolf]

I remember DC++, it was so much better than eMule. Both of them are from the time when dinosaurs walked the Earth of course.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

it is still active but i cant figure out how to make my hub public.
