Titolo: aiuto lopster

ho installato lopster vers. 1.2.0
su mandrake 9.1, ho fatto refresh list
sul tag server e mi aggiunto molti server
però su alcuni quando provo a connetermiù
mi scrive: "Invalid Connection Speed value"
oppure "Could not login (write error" però
io ho selezionato connessione DSL.
Premetto che mi connetto tramite un router
ed ho un firewall con iptables, forse dovrei
abilitare delle porte? ma quale.....
grazie per gli eventuali suggerimenti

 abilitare delle porte? ma quale.....
Ti conviene prima di tutto provare il software sulla macchina con FW 
disattivato. Se vedi che funziona, riabiliti il FW e abiliti le porte 
TCP/UDP per il protocollo OpenNap (dovrebbero essere 6699 e limitrofe).
Se invece non funziona, butta un'occhio su "Preferences..." e guarda se hai 
settato tutto correttamente.
Ciao.

Allora... per il discorso Firewall, ti passo direttamente quello che ha
scritto sgop, il creatore di lopster:
Ok, some explanations on the firewall settings to finally make it clear.
If i say 'user is firewalled' then i speak of the client settings, not
whether there is firewall installed. - To be able to download from not
firewalled users you must be able to directly connect to the outside.
You firewalled settings does not matter. - to be able to download from
firewalled users, you must not be firewalled. - to be able to upload to
firewalled users, you must not be firewalled. - to be able to upload to
not firewalled users, your firewall settings doesnt matter. 
Your settings must be consistent with your real firewall. The basic
question is: Can you accept direct connections from the outside? That's
all that matters. If you can accept connections, then set lopster to
'not firewalled' and specify a default port where you can accept
connections. The port range SHOULD contain the default port, and SHOULD
only contain ports where you can accept connections. If the default port
is not in the port's range, then it is invalid and not used. The port
range are alternative ports besides the default port. If Lopster cannot
use the default port (maybe cause its used by another program already)
it searches for a useable port in the 'allowed ports' range. If Lopster
cannot find any useable port in the allowed ports, then you are set to
'firewalled' automatically. (Check Windows->Sockets for socket type
'Data'. If it doesnt exist, then you are set to firewalled). 
Now, what happens if you dont setup lopster correctly: 
1) If you choose 'i am firewalled' but you could accept connections,
then - you will not get search results from users, that are firewalled 
- your downloads and uploads should work as expected. 
2) If you choose 'not firewalled' but you cannot accept connections,
then - you will also get search result from firewalled users, but you
will never be able to download from them. 
- you will not be able to upload a single byte. 
So, in 1) you simply get less search results and sources for your
downloads, in 2) you get some useless search results and sources for
your downloads and you cannot upload.
Per il discorso del router, devi forwardare le porte che scegli nelle
preferenze del lopster. Altrimenti succedono le cose di cui sopra.
Il fatto della"Invalid Connection Speed value", non l'ho mai sentita.
 Ciao!!
