![]() Hello, I just installed Bearflix on my PC. Bearflix is working fine. I have no problems connecting and downloading files. The problem I am having is I can no longer connect to the Internet using Internet Explorer or get my e-mail with Microsoft Outlook. This only started happening after I began using Bearflix. Has anyone heard of this happening and how do I fix it? |

If you have Windows XP service pack 2 or 3, get the EventID 4226 Patcher Version 2.23d from Lvllord and use it to raise the hidden half-open connection limit in Windows. After you do that you might still see some serious lag while BearFlix is running. Find out what your maximum speed really is and set a number lower than that in the Advanced Limits section of the Connection tab of the Setup controls. Speed tests can be found at places like DSLreports. Choose a few that are near your location for best accuracy and use numbers that are about 75-80% of your test results. If that doesn't do enough to correct it, go to the View menu and enable the Hosts view. If you have a lot of connections in there go to Setup again and in the Service tab select "Never become an ultrapeer". You can also reduce the number of connections used in |
