1) I see the default port for active is 412. Wouldn't that mean I need 
to run dctc as root to be able to use that port?

2) If I use port 1024 and have that port forwarded in my 
iptables-linux-firewall then I _can_ connect with telnet to that port 
from the outside world, so the port seem to work. Downloading in active 
mode work, it is only search that does not work. What can be the problem?

So I may miss seeing the "Trying"-attempts because the gui does not 
refresh more than once every 5th second? (I have been looking quite long 
time and never managed to see a "Trying"-attempt under RedHat 9 so I 
suspect there is no attempt. Under RedHat 8.0 is see the 
"Trying"-attempts all the time.)

Thanks, I will wait for the next stable version I think (because I'm not 
very familiar with CVS).

It is a little bit har to explain, maybe I should send you a screendump 
offlist. Maybe it has to do with that RedHat 9 comes with glib/gtk 2.2.1.

Best,
