+<h3>Advanced: Open Firewall Port</h3>
+
+<p>
+You can improve your Retroshare performance by opening an External Port. 
+This will speed up connections and allow more people to connect with you 
+
+The easiest way to do this is by enabling UPnP on your Wireless Box or Router.
+As each router is different, you need to find out your Router Model and Google for instructions.
+
+If none of this makes sense, don't worry about it Retroshare will still work.

+<h3>Connect to Friends</h3>
+
+<p>
+Be Online at the same time, and RetroShare will automatically connect you!
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Your client needs to find the RetroShare Network before it can make connections.
+This takes 5-30 minutes the first time you startup RetroShare
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The DHT indicator (in the Status Bar) turns Green when it can make connections.
+    <td><img src="qrc:/images/help/dhtgreen.png"/></td>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+After a couple of minutes, the NAT indicator (also in the Status Bar) switch to Yellow or Green.
+    <td><img src="qrc:/images/help/natgreen.png"/></td>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If it remains Red, then you have a Nasty Firewall, that RetroShare struggles to connect through.
+    <td><img src="qrc:/images/help/natred.png"/></td>
+</p>
+<p>
+Look in the Further Help section for more advice about connecting.
