that port number in the tub.port option. If behind a NAT, you *may* need to

details about how to configure Tahoe-LAFS, including how to get other
clients to connect to your node if it is behind a firewall or NAT device.
<h2>A note about firewalls</h2>
<p>If your node is behind a firewall or NAT device and you want other
clients to connect to it then you'll need to <em>open a port</em> in your
firewall. To do that you'll need to know which port Tahoe-LAFS is listening on.
If you haven't already set a port number, it will pick a random port to
listen on and remember this port number in the
<code>~/.tahoe/client.port</code> file. To tell Tahoe-LAFS to listen to a fixed
port, open the <code>~/.tahoe/tahoe.cfg</code> file in your favourite text
editor and changing the <code>tub.port</code> line to something like the
following:</p>
<pre>tub.port = 8098</pre>
<p>This tells Tahoe-LAFS to always listen on port 8098 of your
computer. The next issue is that your computer may be behind a
NATing router and isn't directly connected to the internet but
goes through a router to get out. If that's the case then you'll
need to set the <code>tub.location</code> option so that Tahoe-LAFS
tells the introducer where you're really listening:</p>
<pre>tub.location = myserver.mydomain.org:8098</pre>
<p>or probably more likely</p>
<pre>tub.location = 123.456.789.012:8098</pre>
