if i click ‘’ share links’’ and i get : https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmQmgCHB5wd1LCRDCYXW4VPvSmsUDhYfgGxerpre6xWz8v?filename=fox1.jpeg
When i open the links in Google Chrome and the links turn into http://bafybeibeecjpfcy44hvqrdvttfm6uwquk6ixvz23fukptkmqsbeyftrou4.ipfs.localhost:8080/?filename=fox1.jpeg and show it normally.

But if i use other Browser(Microsoft Edge) and another PC or phone with that links, nothing happend and no image showed until time-out

If you’re behind a NAT, have you tried forwarding port 4001?

#3

DId you mean that i change 5001 just to 4001

Your machine self determined that it is accessible from internet and broadcasting public IP address, thats good. I cant connect to it now, is your node running right now?

No, that’s the API address, it’s fine at 5001.

My ipfs node is running now

I think its windows firewall issue. If you want to disable it for a while send me msg i will recheck connection.

#15

I have disable ,you can try ,But i dont think so, first I have check the firewall ,ipfs are allowed and i have install an IPfs node also on a raspberry pi ,It have the same case.

#16

I still get connection refused.

IPFS has builtin connect test. If it is behind NAT it asks other node what is your node public IP then it asks other node to connect back. If all these 2 things work then it broadcasts its public IP like your node does.

Because of these tests if node broadcasts public ip it confirms that it is reachable from outside. I dont remember case like yours. Something must filter traffic and it didnt when your node started.

Situation on rpi is different from your previous machine. RPI used upnp router feature to setup router port forwarding because high port number is used (tcp/63740) it passed start up check but doesnt work now your router probably do not forward traffic anymore.

Does it have something to do with my network, because the wireless network I use requires a user name and password to connect

#22

And the problem is back to the beginning, my IPfs can find other peers, but the uploaded file can’t be searched even though it gets hash

#23

In RPI case this How to Set Up Port Forwarding on a Router (with Pictures) procedure is needed. referenced guide is quite complicated you might seek for easier one.

Windows machine should work out of box like mine does but you can use same manual port forward method for it as well.

you need static ip on your lan and setup home router to forward port A (tcp and udp) to windows IP:4001 and port B to rpi port 4001. A and B can be any number. for easier setup use 4001 and try to get one machine working.

Use page like https://ismyportopen.com/ for initial test that your port forwarding on router is ok.
