This evening (Jan 1, 2003), `cdcc "host 216.122.249.51; stats"` from
afar says you are running dccd.  That shows that UDP packets with
destination port 6277 can reach your system and that UDP packets with
source port 6277 can leave your system.  Unfortunately, it does not
say anything about either kind of UDP packet going in the opposite
direction.  Those oppposite directions are what the DCC clients need.

They are ok unless you object to using common source and obj directories.

Random server-IDs do no harm unless you try to connect your server
to the public network.

Do `cdcc "host 127.0.0.1; stats"` or `cdcc "host 216.122.249.51; stats"`
find your server?
