router of node A and retry the process. Otherwise, you can try manually
connecting node A to node B.
### Manually connecting node A to B On node B, run `ipfs id` and take one of
the multiaddrs that contains its public ip address, and then on node A run
`ipfs swarm connect <multiaddr>`. If that *still* doesn't work, then you
should either join IRC and ask for help there, or file an issue on github.
### Manually connecting node A to B
On node B run `ipfs id` and take one of the multiaddrs that contains its public
ip address, and then on node A run `ipfs swarm connect <multiaddr>`. You can
also try using a relayed connection, for more information [read this
doc](./experimental-features.md#circuit-relay). If that *still* doesn't work,
then you should either join IRC and ask for help there, or file an issue on
github.
