im stuck behind a firewall plse help. im no fundy @ programing. i have a firewall on my lw, which only appeared a few days ago' i checked my windows firewall, even tried disabling. tried the magnetic link, and it downloaded ok. i have a marconi adsl router, but i completely at lost with its configuration. i have trend penicillen virus protection. i run thro a hub to my router. i tried ares and that worked no problem. tried manual ports, to no avail. i am at a loss. dont know what else to do |

Ares must be a "leecher" program then. No wonder it's infamous for long queues for downloads. The idea of forcing people to properly configure their firewalls is so they can share. Since that is what this is all about ... peer to peer. Gnutella is a "file sharing" network. If people weren't sharing then there'd be nothing to download. If you have a problem with a firewall then it would mean people would mostly fail in their attempts to downld from you. So why the firewall? Perhaps your router doesn't have good UPnP support & is unreliable in that mode. In which case port forwarding would normally be the best step. Port forwarding instructrions for Marconi can be found here http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm You posted here, presumably looking for help, but you left very little in the way of details as the forum rules require; details such as these System details - help us to help you (click on link) I presume you're using Windows XP so did you configure your XP firewall to allow LW full access? (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link). You mentioned penicillen, is that only an AV or is it also a firewall? |

Why not try Phex to see if you have the same problems. It's another gnutella program. They also have their own section on these forums. Phex doesn't have many language options however. |
