Problems with dc++ 0.674

Valnut 0.3.7
Debian hetch

I can dl files from all type of clients but peoples working with DC++ 
0.674 in active mode can't ul files on my dc: the ul restart à 0% after 
all disconnexion (IP change).
For some of them it works in passiv mode (but not all of them and I dont 
undestand why)

It seems that tis is due to à change in dc++ protocol to protect users 
agains malicious attacks.

Is a new release of valknut in study to solve tis problem?

Best regards

active not working and passive won't complete downloads

i'm running valknut 0.3.7 on fedora core 4 and in active mode i have
set up port forwarding correctly and i get no search results. when i
switch to passive i get search results, but when i try downloading
something it just sits in the wait tab with the status:
*Idle/2

and never ever goes to the transfer tab. downloading never gets
completed or even started. what does that * mean (just curious)? what
could be wrong?

i start the program from the command line so i can see the program's
output and this is what i got (maybe it will help):

To get search results in Active mode, you need to have the appropriate 
UDP port forwarded, and be accepting incoming UDP packets from anywhere 
to that port.  Have a good close look at your firewall setup, Active 
mode is worth pursuing.

Active mode also requires a forwarded/open TCP port, so others can 
connect to you to initiate transfers.  In passive mode you rely on 
others having correctly configured ports, and the RevConnectToMe process 
is more complicated, meaning greater scope for thwarted connections. 
Without a connection downloads will never start, and nothing will show 
in the log tab.

I think the * indicates a multi-download, as opposed to a single-source 
download.

Cheers,

Re: active not working and passive won't complete downloads

Hi Nick,

You're not giving us much to go on here.  What ports have you opened, 
are they the same ones listed under Options->Connection in Valknut (9176 
by default, different to what DC++ uses).  Do you have a router/modem 
doing NAT, is your linux firewall doing NAT, do you use a frontend to 
configure your linux firewall?  Can you confirm that UDP packets are 
actually making it to your computer, for example by using a packet 
sniffer like tcpdump or ethereal?
