I don't have control over the routers. I have heard applications like
MSN Messenger establish a connection between the clients when one
client sends a file to another one, I also suppose that is done with
P2P applications, how do this guys do it? I see people downloading
music from me and I'm behind a NATing router. I can download music from
them and I'm behing a NATing router. I just don't understand how this
is done.
