NIRi Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hey all..This issue is regarding the Internet connectivity...Everything works fine in the computer, I can browse,download files using web browsers ( Ex : IE 6, IE 7, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape )There is no problem with the web browsers, but when it comes to P2P applications like Ares, Azureus, BitLord, Limewire, E-Donkey..... am not able to connect to their respective servers, in short these applications doesn't connect to internet.I've tried changed the port settings within these applications, disabled firewall, ran an online windows live one care scan (safety.live.com).. even after that there is no change..And i've noticed one funny thing thats whenever i try"ping www.yahoo.com", for that matter whenever i ping any website its gives out a message saying "ping request timed out"i've tried resetting winsock, tcp/ip. ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew. No security applications, windows firewall disabled.and i also have a computer where in i have windows vista installed, but everything works fine that the vista computer.Am running XP PRO SP2 with 512 RAM, DSL connection connected via router ( wired connection )well i'll be looking forward for the valuable suggestions... and please don't suggest to reinstall the whole operating system, which i cannot do, as its a very tedious process when it comes to windows.Regards- Niranjan Rolling Eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I think that MOST of the members would recommend that if you don't want to take risks with your computer, AVOID p2p like the plague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan2273 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 As your computer is connected using a router have you checked to see if it has a firewall as my router does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIRi Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 As your computer is connected using a router have you checked to see if it has a firewall as my router does.Well i've checked for the router settings, it works in vista computer, but not in XP PRO... guess there is some problem with XP not with the router settings..

trackrat Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Is this of any help, as you have tried everything that I would have done.http://www.limewire.org/wiki/index.php?tit...er_Cant_Connect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Have you allowed the ports to be forwarded? They get forwarded in your routers settings to avoid NAT conflicts. Even if you only have one computer getting an ip address from the router you still need to forward the ports. Instead of pinging a computer try tracert.
