My bitcoin client shows always only 8 connections....
Some more details:
my isp doesn't give me a public ip , this means that i'm behind a NAT (some kind of big lan) , ad i can't forward ports to listen for incoming connections.
Is it bad? Is there a way to solve this?

It's not bad, but there's no solution. It means you cannot receive incoming connections.

If he couldn't receive incoming connections, how come his client shows 8 connections?

N4rk0:
There is nothing wrong with your client. 8 Connections is perfectly right, that's exactly the number of connections the client tries to create. You don't need more than that.

I can actually get incoming connections from te other clients that 'live' behind my same NAT.
However the fact that i can't receive incoming connections doesn't mean that i can't make outgoing connections.
