how you guys getting more connections? I only have 8....

open port 7688 on your router and forward it

I'm mining on 4 different PCs on the same LAN. How am I going to forward the port to all PCs? Is it possible to configure YaCoin to use a different port on each PC?

Use -addnode to add the machine the router routes the port to to the other nodes' list of nodes to connect to.

They all will thus have direct LAN connection to the one that has the many external connections.

Thanks for the tip! Will the other computers get 8+ connections as well? Or will they still show 8, but are connected through the computer that has 8+ connections?

Hmm not sure if the -addnode counts against their eight. I have seen 9 despite supposed limit of 8 sometimes so maybe it doesn't.

Since I too don't have direct control of my router at home (the landlord has it) I sometimes use -maxconnections 9 to limit the number when running a coin I did once upon a time get the landlord to route but no longer want too many connections for here at home now I have machines out on the net.

So maybe if you do see only 8 counting the -addnode, try raising -maxconnections.

Heck try raising it anyway even if your port cannot be routed to allow incoming connections. Maybe a high -maxconnections will let you do more than 8 outgoing despite no incomings. Worth a try.
