Sorry for getting so off topic, if this gets to be too long, I'll start a new thread. I re-downloaded it and it still doesn't show the two selections I mentioned before, any ideas?

See et voilà's post here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=33128 And it seems that the force ip option has been removed. So I'll have to see how this works.

Oh but don't go to that site link in the 1st post, I suspect it could be a scam site.

LODR needs to use 4.4! There is no force IP anymore, only a firewall option (however the router section in the firewall setup is the new force ip option). To do force IP in 4.4 select the manual port in the router section.

Bonne chance

[Edit: Salut LODR!]

I listened to et voilà, then configured it to be used with Ne0teric's method. I've tried several IP adresses, all to no avail. I'll just have to contact Insight I suppose...

calling insight will do no good, they've blocked the network and they will deny that they have done so. all u gotta do is find a 'live' proxy and configure it in properly which u should be able to find proxy faq's throughout google search if need be, but to me its all a bunch of non sense that us users shouldnt have to be going through. the proper SOLUTION is to switch isp's lol just use what i wrote as a temp fix until u can do so...
