Hey guys,
I'm on the road, and carrying the Dockstar with me. I'm at a hotel where the router has uPnP disable (I believe so last time I checked). I also have a travel wifi router with me and plug it in the wire to use as a private wifi network. My Dockstar is connected to this private network. On a whim, I started transmission on the Dockstar to try bittorrent downloading to see if it works. And amazingly, it does work! As I understood, transmission uses uPnP to request port forwarding, so how does it work in this case? did it just ignore the reponse status and tried to open it successfully?
My router has an acquired IP of 192.168.1.x so it is obviously behind a NAT in the main router.
Anybody who is familiar with transmission code/design can explain it? Much appreciate!
