I've seen various posts (mostly centering on sharing files and DC++ hubs) which say having the same SAM server is
crucial to being able to share files with others directly via the LAN.
This morning I tried logging into Sify using a different SAM server.
SuperSify prints out the URL you use to Login - the IP part of the URL is your SAM server. (At least that's the case with me)
I was thinking of adding a switch (boy, do we have many of them now) to SuperSify which allowed you to specify the SAM IP or the entire login URL you want to use for logging in. This would override the default IP sent to you by the central Sify server. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to log in using any other SAM server but my own. Are you guys sure you manged to log in using other SAM servers? I'm guessing the SAM server could be retrieved based on the IP you supply while requesting further information from the Sify server.
I even tried SAM servers where only the last octet differed. No go.
Finally, has anyone got something conclusive to say on how
1) You can share files with sify users all across our country?
2) You can share files with other users on the same subnet?
3) You can share files with other users using the same SAM server?
Remember, I'm talking about sharing across the LAN - not Internet & I'm aware that some of this is downright impossible.
So, if you think you know something about this - please write an article or something with your thoughts.
Thanks,
