Hi,
I have ben doing a lot of reading up re connection problems, but haven't been able to find a solution to the problem I'm having.
I can't connect to any host using Bearshare. I've tried a series of tests as detailed below and have yet to find the cause. Suggestions?
I have 2 laptops. 1 running WinXP (works fine) and one running WinXP Media Center (not working).
Bearshare used to work fine around 3 months ago (haven't tried it in between then an now - so not sure when it stopped working)
I tried installing Limewire and this works fine, also ran the limewire:6346 test and it succeeds.
I have WinXP SP2. Bearshare doesn't work even with the firewall off.
So for the facts:
Bearshare cannot connect to any hosts
Internet connection is active
Limewire works fine
This used to work fine about 3 months ago.
No ports are blocked by ISP
My only thoughts are that it could be a WinXP patch? (checked the installed programs and there is nothing recent that has been downloaded.)
As you can see i'm at a bit of a loss. Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks
