hey again,
playing around with my router setting i realize the problem is port forwarding is set up to forward requests on 6277 to my local ip, but there is nothing allowing anything to pass from my computer to the dcc host through 6277. i cant seem to figure out how to do this, im gonna go look for belkin customer service most liekly, just wanted to bring in some resolution:-)
