Working offline
 

I have just started trying to use
Xolox, but am having a bit of a problem. I first downloaded version 1.3x, and I had a problem getting connected. I do not have "work offline" checked under file, but that is what is said on the bottom bar... "working offline". I have tried several things... including going to the xolox chat room.... but nothing has worked. They suggested that I try totally uninstalling (including at the registry) xolox and installing 1.4. I did that, and still get the same ... "working offline".

I will add that I did not install the program to the default, but to a slave hard drive (D:). But I don't understand why everything else works fine... this forum, the chat, and IFilm. I just can't get the network to recognize that I am online.

I do not have a router, nor a firewall.

Please help!

What is your internet connection?

I'm having the same problem...I'm on cable and I do have a router...but why won't it let me connect. I don't see anything that asks me if I want to be online or not...I need help :(

Port Blocked?
 

Although I just started using Xolox by stumbling on to it, I have seen similar problems in the past with other file sharing programs, Bearshare in particular. It comes from someone (probably your ISP) blocking common file sharing ports. I recommend checking your ISPs use policy as many have banned the use of file sharing applications or severly limit their use. You could also try another file sharing app to see if the same problem exists with it. So far XoloX seems to be more stable than others but without some of the features I like (Kazaa keeps blue screening and Morpheus is a resource hog when sharing a lot of files).
