my IP ...

[lea]

hi,

is there a way to hide my ip when I use mldonkey ? I mean, can I use proxy servers, and how can I configure it ?
txh

Take a look at the following options:

http_proxy_port
http_proxy_server
http_proxy_tcp

thank you for your answer,
but it doesn'r resolve my problem,
i'm curious, and I wonder, how do people to show 'firewalled' instead of their IP (or proxy's IP) ? ( I use the GUI sancho )
thx for your explanation;)

If you are 'firewalled' it means you have a low id, which means that people can't connect to your computer. But you can connect to them, IF they have high id. If they also have low id you can't exchange files. To prevent this people map ports in their router.

Either way, your ip is known.

thanx for your reply, it's very clear,
however, what is the aim of these options:

http_proxy_port
http_proxy_server
http_proxy_tcp

is it just for the remote admin ? or is it for sharing files thru proxies ?
I understand the low or high ID, but if the proxies's options are for the file sharing, is it possible to have a high ID passing thru a proxy ? I think they have to get the 4662 port open, I'm right ?
thank you

Yeah, the proxy will have to route all ports to you that mlDonkey uses. I don't think there's free ones like that around and if there were, speed would be pretty horrible
