Having some trouble connecting..
Installed skype, but that won't connect (to the test call Echo123) either.
I'm running Version 1.4 of waste; and I've entered a tonne of the IP's and public keys from this board..But I think the difficulty is something to do with my connection. Just connected to a new broadband provider this week and it way be something to do with connecting with a NAT router. I've set up port forwarding, which I've gotten lots of contradictory advice about (namely that the stuff on port forwarding.com is rubbish). I'm using a ZyXEL router, and have tried a)no forwarding of 1115 at all b) forwarding it to my overall ip (from whatsmyip.com b) forwarding to the ip of my router (got from winipcfg), and c) forwarding to the ip of my network card (again from winipcfg). With c) + my ip from whatsmyip.com I've been able to connect to myself in waste; but I'm not sure whether that means its working and some other setting is wrong, or its just working locally and can't get through the router..
I've spelt Zer0share correctly with no spaces (cut and paste it to be sure).

Any ideas ?
