The Retroshare Configuration Window

Using this panel you can configure RetroShare's ports, and its shared directories:

  • If you are directly connected to the Internet (via broadband) then you should have Port Configuration set to auto. Ensure the the Box near the Top is Ticked.
  • If you are behind a Firewall, and have opened a port through it. Then you should set your external address: Tick the "Firewalled", and the "Forwarded" Boxes. Enter your external address, in the field. Then press Change.
  • If you are behind a firewall, and cannot open an external port, Tick the "Firewalled" Box. You can only make outgoing Connections.
  • Add shared directories through the lower panel.
