Your client needs to find the RetroShare Network before it can make connections. This takes 5-30 minutes the first time you start up RetroShare The DHT indicator (in the Status Bar) turns Green when it can make connections. After a couple of minutes, the NAT indicator (also in the Status Bar) switch to Yellow or Green. If it remains Red, then you have a Nasty Firewall, that RetroShare struggles to connect through. Look in the Further Help section for more advice about connecting.</body></html> 2 0 14 Advanced: Open Firewall Port :/images/firewall_24.png:/images/firewall_24.png 24 24 false 150 0 0 0 0 150 Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd"> <html><head><meta name="qrichtext" content="1" /><style type="text/css"> p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } </style></head><body style=" font-family:'MS Shell Dlg 2'; font-size:8.25pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal;"> 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 will need to find out your Router Model and search the Internet for instructions. If none of this makes sense to you, don't worry about it Retroshare will still work. </body></html> Qt::Vertical QSizePolicy::Expanding 20 40 Further Help and Support <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd"> <html><head><meta name="qrichtext" content="1" /><style type="text/css"> p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } </style></head><body style=" font-family:'MS Shell Dlg 2'; font-size:8.25pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal;"> Having trouble getting started with RetroShare? 1) Look at the FAQ Wiki.
