:help: I have a big problem, I just bought a new computer, on my old computer DC++ was working perfectly but on the new computer any kind of program of file sharing (Odc, Bittorrent) is not working... why ?
When i try to connect to any hub it says connection timeout, what should i do... please help me !

one word: Firewall

Nope still doesn't work, hope is not something bad, I tried everytyhing but it is in vain, connection timeout.

You sure the WindowsXP firewall is disabled, too? Maybe it was, what Titan was talking about, he wasn't very clear ;)

If that doesn't work: Are you connected to a router? It's possible that the router gave your new PC another IP than the old one. So some ports, that needed to be open, are just open for your old PC. At least that's what I think.

not really game related. I suggest moving it to technical.

As for the discussion. A firewall or changed ip. (or you got banned on all :)

Are you by any chance behind a router now and weren't before? You might have to make a few port redirects on it then...

How can my IP could be changed... I'm through LAN and normally if on the old computer works then on my new computer should work. The internet is working very well only connectin on the DC++ doesn't work...

It has something to do with ports. Internet is on port 80 (http). DC++ is on another port. Something is probably blocking this port. It could be the firewall, could be the router, could even be your provider.

You do know you have the ability to do that yourself?


Moved to technical ->

As others have said, most likely its a router problem. Got to http://www.portforward.com/ and find your router and follow the instructions for using DC++.
