Virgin - You have not published your peer seed yet. This happens automatically, just wait. While you have this status you are not allowed to search other peers.
Junior - You cannot be reached from outside. A possible reason is that you are behind a firewall, NAT or Router. But you can <ahref="index.html">search the internet</a> using the other peers' global index on your own search page. We encourage you to open your firewall for the port you configured (usually: 8080), or to set up a 'virtual server' in your router settings (often called DMZ). Please be fair, contribute your own index to the global index.
::
Senior - You are running a server and you support the global internet index, which you can also <ahref="index.html">search yourself</a>. Thank you!
::
Principal - You are senior and you publish your seed-list to a public accessible server where it can be retrieved using the URL <ahref="#[seedURL]#">#[seedURL]#</a>.<br/>
You can of course <ahref="index.html">search the internet</a> using the other peers' global index on your own search page.
