   Review - Direct Connect for Mac OS X

   1.1.0 (Mar 16, 2005)

   yeah i got it working, it was pretty simple (im not sure if i did it correctly or if i just managed some sort of jury rig)
   anyways,
   go > utilities > airport admin utility
   select your airport and hit configure
   go to the port mapping tab and add a new port
   
   i havent done this in a while, as i havent had my own internet connection, but here's what i remember
   
   public port: 32000
   private address:
   private port: 32000
   
   if you go to system preferences > network, your airport summary should tell you what private ip has been assigned to your computer by your router. this goes in private address. in my case, 10.0.1.2
   
   update the airport.
   
   now open dc++ and go to preferences (in whichever client you're using it should be really similar). if you go to whatismyip.com - this site will tell you what your isp has assigned to you as your IP addess. you can also find it in the network settings somewhere.
   ok so in dc++, go to preferences, network tab, select active and hit the advanced button.
   
   address: the IP address you pulled from whatismyip.com
   download port: 32000
   search port: 32000
   
   i used 32000 because, for some weird reason, whatever port i arbitrarily decided to open and use, dc++ would change the advanced setting from my port to 32000. so i went back and opened that port instead, and i was active.
   
   you should be set. let me know if something is still ****ed up.
