P2P Network Connections - - - - - -

[FasTrack]

I have Kazaa, Limewire, Dc++, BearShare. Previously they could connect 2 their respective networks but then since i formatted my drive installed the os, they just dont seem 2 connect anymore.

1 Trouble shooting guide said that i might b probably connected thru a Proxy Server, I am connected 2 net using LAN, I just dont know what 2 do, Previously everything was fine.

Are u using the win 2K/NT/XP family of OS.

 

[FasTrack]

I work on 98se, Guess its got nothing 2 do with this cos it worked pretty good b'fore i formatted the c partition

u suspect any registry link ?

cos all these are on f: while i emptied c: so virtually these r not recognised by the registry is my guess.

 

[blade_runner]

You guessed it right, reinstall those apps again.

well try to open the required ports for these p2p networks may be after the format those have been bolcked try using http tunnel to unblock those ports.

 

[FasTrack]

Opening Ports ?, Can ya tell me in a detailed way ?, I'd really b thankful 2 u.

 

[prathapml]

Please first tell us whether you use any firewall (internet security) (hardware or software based). Then detailed instructions to open ports can be given.

 

[FasTrack]

Nope I dont use any firewall.

 

[amitsaudy]

Just reinstall the apps. n they ll work

 

[prathapml]

If it doesn't work, try uninstalling and re-installing the TCP/IP protocol from Network Neighbourhood (doesn't seem related, but sometimes it is).
