It means you cannot receive incoming connections.
If he couldn't receive incoming connections, how come his client shows 8 connections?
He made 8 connections.

I can actually get incoming connections from te other clients that 'live' behind my same NAT.
However the fact that i can't receive incoming connections doesn't mean that i can't make outgoing connections.

There is nothing wrong with your client. 8 Connections is perfectly right, that's exactly the number of connections the client tries to create. You don't need more than that.

It's not bad, but there's no solution. It means you cannot receive incoming connections.

My bitcoin client shows always only 8 connections....
Some more details:
my isp doesn't give me a public ip , this means that i'm behind a NAT (some kind of big lan) , ad i can't forward ports to listen for incoming connections.
Is it bad? Is there a way to solve this?
