d2OL help, behind router firewall!

[tbates757]

Hi guys, I'm trying to setup a second and third node, but they are behind a router when I try to enter my email address after installing the d2ol client. What info do I enter for either the HTTP Proxy or the SOCKS Proxy? help! Thanks guys! ;D

If you can access the web from those machines w/ your web browser, you shouldn't have to set any of the proxy stuff up. If have to set up the proxy info for your browser, then check those settings and copy it over.

I just set the routers internal IP as the gateway in my network settings and I also put in my ISP's DNS numbers but that isn't always necessary.

Yes, it should work, the DSL IP is static, but through the router it's setup for DHCP. I can access the web (writing this post from THE machine!) and there are no proxy things set up under IE6 so I'm really baffled.

My ISP is by DHCP, and so is my router. I simply installed the client on both machines and registered the nodes. Then log in to the site and click add node. Your email addy should be the same for all the nodes. Im not sure what you are having a problem with.

The problem is that after I install the client, then when it runs for the first time, it asks for your e-mail address, I enter it, hit enter, then it says Unable to Register! then I have 3 options, 1) Connect directly (no firewall) 2) Connect using HTTP Proxy (then boxes to fill in Host and Port) 3) Connect using SOCKS Proxy (then boxes to fill in Host and Port). I try the first one, Connect directly, but it doesn't work. I do not know which to use, the HTTP or SOCKS proxy and even if I did I wouldn't know what to enter as the host / port.

So you are using the firewall feature of your router or a software firewall?

 

[tbates757]

the router's built in firewall, i have no software firewalls installed

I think that all you have to do is follow these instructions and set it to use http port 80 because if you can read this then port 80 is open.

Oh, cool, I'll give that a shot and report back later tonight. Thanks for the tip!
