i did the test mine said "your test worked!"

I am trying to help my uncle setup his computer to connect to MP3 Rocket. It used to work and then he reset his modem. Not sure why he reset his modem but anyway. I have enabled UPnP but the software will not connect. I have disabled his Windows Firewall but that didn't help. I have found an article on how to enable port forwarding but no luck. There has to be something that I am missing. I am confused by the two different ports on the Advanced tab. What is the difference between the two? Also this used to work until he reset his modem. I suspect that disabled UPnP but I have re-enabled it. I would appreciate any help on this issue.

Go to http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm & find your model in far right column & forward the port(s) that MP3 Rocket uses!
This will most likely be your problem ... the modem/router blocking the port.
Try port 6346 for the gnutella network!

PLEASE HELP.

I have been a subscriber to MP3 Rocket for a year or two now. But in the past 30 days, it will not let me connect. It tells me I have a firewall--but there is no firewall today that wasn't there two years ago. Nothing on my computer settings has changed. I do not have a virus or any of that stuff. I have tried opening my computer to allow pop-ups--didn't work. I have emailed MP3 Rocket to ask them what's wrong and they have not responded to me in any way.
Unless someone in this forum assures me otherwise, I am going to conclude that the MP3 Rocket site is being shut down and the plug has been pulled on the site.

If you will read this full thread Post #2 by Birdy explains it all. MP3 Rocket is a scam. Download Limewire Basic for free here. Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download «
