Quoting david_chen100 <[email protected]> from ml.gnutella.dev-forum:
:The documentation says that if the servent that contains the file to
:be transferred is behind a firewall, it can PUSH the file to its
:counterparty (who is receiving the file) via GIV in HTTP.
:
:However, what happens when both hosts are behind firewalls? How does
:the file transfer happen in this case?  

If both hosts are behind firewalls, then it is not possible for them to
exchange files through TCP/IP.
