Re: [circle] file transfer questions

Hello,

Very badly...

There are two ways to work around it:

a) you can to run the part of circle that matters (called "proxy") on the 
computer that provides the NATting; or

b) alternatively, you can set up your NAT to forward UDP ports 29610 to 29619 
to the machine where you run circle.

Option (a) is described in circle's manual, but only works if your NAT is 
provided by an actual computer - it won't work for a NAT router box.

Option (b) will be described in the manual of your NAT, or you can go through 
the configs looking for a table where you can add a row with the above 
details.

Yeah, the other nodes need to be able to find you, too.
