With one of our last versions of Wuala we introduced new methods for NAT traversal. For all the geeks out there, here is a link to the IETF RFC for STUN, the Simple Traversal of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Through Network Address Translators (NATs): http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3489.txt. We now support full, restricted, and port-restricted cone NATs. Isn't that great? ;-)

Does it mean machine between firewall which only allow http,https,ftp can trade storage now ?
ReplyDeleteSTUN rox and is the horror of some sysadmins out there.
ReplyDeleteIt does not affect users behind a firewall, however many home users who usually have NAT.
ReplyDeleteBut it still doesn't seem to allow me to trade storage at my office PC. There's no firewall in between but I get a red cross and when i hit "Check again" I keep getting this like in the "old" days:
ReplyDelete"Analyzing Connection...
Got answer from Ping Server 'A', your external address is '/207.102.122.113:1248'.
Got answer from Ping Server 'B', your external address is '/207.102.122.113:2299'.
Trying to find UPnP router...
...no UPnP router could be found.
'/207.102.122.113:1248' does not accept incoming connections.
Your connection is not suitable for trading storage.
Please enable UPnP on your router/firewall or configure it manually to forward incoming UDP connections on port 7,329 to this computer. Afterwards you might need to restart your router and/or Wuala."
What may be the problem here?
Unfortunately, routers from different manufacturers behave differently. It's generally difficult to make it work in all possible hardware settings.
