hmm not sure I have NIS (2004) with no upload or download problems. If you have allowed full access for port 6346 you shouldn't be having a problem with NIS.

Is Your ISP blocking or filtering uploads.

I think your right it's not NIS 2004 causing the problem because I disabled it to see what would happen but same problems.

ISP isn't blocking or filtering. How do I double check that NIS is getting full access to port 6346. I already have LW permit all is that what your talking about?

That is correct.

Just out of curiosity are you running any other programs at the same time, and do you have the WindowsXP sp2 firewall disabled.

Was it this about NIS2005? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=32877

Did you know SP2 reduces the no. of simultaneous connections?

Taking XP firewall out of the picture temporarily might determine if that's playing a part in this.

I am running XP SP2 with XP's firewall turned off running NIS 2004.

This was the post I was looking for:

have you set up a "rule" in your firewall to allow any computer access (inbound and outbound) to port 6346?

Although, in your original posting, you said that you have set up LW to access the required port I believe inbound queries come in via this port as well. So you may have to tell NPF 2004 (the firewall portion of NIS 2004) to allow inbound and outbound connections as well. You will find instructions on how to do this on the Symantec Website.
