Title: Connections top out at 8 Post by: dingus on June 07, 2011, 10:48:59 PM Do I need to forward specific ports other than 8332 in order to get > 8 connections on the bitcoin client? Also, does having more than 8 connections really matter?

Open/forward port 8333 Title: Re: Connections top out at 8 Post by: dingus on June 08, 2011, 03:50:43 AM Interesting...just checked up on my forwarded ports and I've had 8333 open this whole time. ???
Title: Re: Connections top out at 8 Post by: mewantsbitcoins on June 08, 2011, 04:07:33 AM Is it forwarding that port to the right(your) IP? If you haven't set a static IP it changes everytime you reboot your computer
