I must say I'm a little confused with this because the second day I got four minering payments in less than two hours (about 0.03 BTC), and since then nothing more.  I understand that this depends on many things and not something cyclical, and I promise I'm trying to be patient  Huh.  

You only get paid when p2pool finds a block. See your web status page (yours will be in LTC, this is mine for BTC)

Current block value: 25.5409 BTC Expected time to block: 17.2 hours

As you can see, you'll only get 1 or 2 blocks a day on average - some days 0, some days more (LTC has different numbers, but it works the same way)

I would like to ask only two things, what miner do you think that it's most appropriate for p2pool?. CGMiner looks great, and the stales are very low for me (2-3%) if I compare with other, I have about 300 mhash/s with mi HD7850 GPU.
It doesn't really matter, anything that can connect with long poll

And second question, in the output I read things like these:
2013-04-24 04:08:03.754000 P2Pool: 17360 shares in chain (17364 verified/17364 total) Peers: 6 (0 incoming), or: 2013-04-24 04:09:28.309000  Shares: 0 (0 orphan, 0 dead) Stale rate: Huh Efficiency: Huh Current payout: 0.0000 BTC

Are this correct (0 incoming) or do i have something wrong?

if you don't have upnp on your router or port forwarding set up, you won't have any incoming. p2pool will still work without incoming
