Can't connect - firewall problem? I need help in getting connected. See my Beardiag.exe summary below. Code: BEARDIAG ISSUES - brief summary: (Extracted on 2008/04/02 14:21:19) Code: StartupList report, 4/2/2008, 2:18:50 PM Code: Firewall information for CWH, running WIN_XP, Service Pack 2, build 2600 Code: |
Go to the View menu and enable the Hosts view. What can you see happening in there? |
After enabling, it attempts to conect to a number of different hosts and times out. I have also set up a static IP address and assigned the port number recommended for TCP and UDP and then rebooted - still no success. |

I tried this, but still no connection. All the host attempts time out still. |
Then it's probably AT&T blocking it. That's who your ISP is leasing from. Did it ever work for you before? |
Actually, it is CenturyTel. We recently changed to this host, and no, I haven't yet been able to use Bearshare with it. |
I can see your ISP from here, and they are a customer of AT&T. It's possible that the block is one of their temporary ones, which typically expire after a few weeks. In the meantime, Vuze (Azureus) or µTorrent with encryption turned on and in forced mode will probably still work well. |
connect.zip did job for me I recently had a new cpu built, had to reinstall all software plus BearShare, and ran into same host connection problems. Tonight, I joined this forum, found a possible answer in Aaron's post; I downloaded, extracted into the db file. And now it works! Thanks Aaron. My ISP is local phone company, Gallatin River Communications, who just changed their name to CenturyTel. Coincidence? |
Probably. ;] |
