Hi Swiftshoot,
close starcoin-qt and backup and delete peers.dat in your data directory.. update the starcoin.conf with something similar to the below config
daemon=1
bind=192.168.0.x
port=18216
listen=1
maxconnections=8
logtimestamps=1
gen=0
splash=0
dns=1
discover=1
irc=0
dnsseed=0
#onlynet=IPv4
server=1
rpcuser=x
rpcpassword=x
rpcport=18217
rpcallowip=192.168.0.x
rpcallowip=192.168.0.x
rpcallowip=192.168.0.x
rpcallowip=192.168.0.x
rpcconnect=192.168.0.x
#seednode=add-any-other-known-bad-ips-then-uncomment
connect=37.229.117.57
connect=63.246.129.56:36302
connect=82.9.77.178
connect=198.84.250.234
connect=212.119.171.18
connect=216.155.151.242
start starcoin-qt
hope it helps..
also before you mentioned that the client had no upnp support, well the starcoind does... to get it setup automatically close starcoin-qt, then in a command prompt in windows type :
starcoind -upnp
now wait it will take a while to load and not say anything.. leave that prompt open and open another.. in this prompt keep trying:
starcoind getinfo
until you get a response that isn't server not found, once you get a response
you can close both the command prompts, UPNP for that client has been set in the router!
Here are Starcoin's command line options.. no option for -upnp. Not sure if it is in the source but I will check.
**Update: Checked source... it was defaulted to USE_UPNP=0 when compiled and therefore reason why it was not visible. For next version could you please ensure it is compiled with USE_UPNP=1 so that it will automatically work for Windows.
