Hi there, and thanks for trying the software! It depends on how your network is configured; I don't have enough information to say for sure. (First, I'm assuming that you want to run a server; if you just want to send anonymous messages, you don't need to worry about mixminiond.conf at all.) If your computer is sitting as a gateway between two networks (one 'internal' network, and the public internet), then you should set "IP" in mixminiond.conf to your external address. If your computer is sitting *inside* a firewalled network, with the IP 192.168.x.x, and the firewall's public IP is (say) 66.B.C.D, then you should set "IP" to 66.B.C.D (so that other remailers can connect to you); and you should set "ListenIP' to 192.168.x.x (so that your computer listens on the right address). You will also need to make your firewall will forward port 48099 on the external IP to your computer's internal address, at port 48099 on 192.168.x.x. Finally, you will need to make sure that "Hostname" is set to a the hostname of your external IP. I hope this helps; please email if it wasn't clear. Yours, -- Nick Mathewson
