Ok, before I go anywhere. Sorry if this is not the correct section but I was not 100% sure where it should go. Second is that I'm using DC++ for the sharing of NON-copyrighted anything so please dont close or delete on that basis as I am at my wits ends with this. I could really use some help on this one. I just moved and have not been using my PC for a while. I have a PC that I normally use as a server but its in Boxes atm so I wanted to get this one set up on a temp basis. So I downloaded the newest version of DC++ client (0.69. Installed it. I have a Netgear Router (WGT624v3). I went to port forwarding and configured it like I normally would. (using for example port 1266-1266 for TCP-UDP). Found out my new external IP and went to DC++. Selected "Firewall with manual port forwarding" and entered the selected port on both TCP and UDP. Left outgoing connections alone (ie on Direct connection). Tried it and nothing it did not work. SO I tried a few things and nothing, Then I started reading. Manual for router, DC++ help, DC++ FAQ, the web, forums. Tried a few things more. All I get is "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" I will say that when I installed originally (earlier today I mean) nothing was comming up with the hub list so I went online and got a new hub list from http://www.hublist.co.uk/ My original hublist was http://www.hublist.org/PublicHubList.xml.bz2 but I was getting nothing from that. Look at Image1 for the error msg regarding that And see Image2 regarding my settings for DC++ And Image3 for router settings P.S: I've had DC++ working for years now. Never had a problem setting up (oh well the inicial problem everyone has when they have to do port forwarding for the first time as they get a router for the first time). I have also been trying differant things and also been trying and retrying to connect to hubs for hours now. over 7 to be honest. I have even reinstalled DC++ and redownloaded and then reinstalled again. I have also reset my router 2 times and started from scratch. Not including all the times I have tried differant things. I'm completely at a loss and I need help. I know I am missing someting but I dont know what. Please help
I understand that this is a very specific problem but I have been searching for somewhere where I can find peopel that might know and I have not had much luck. I know that this may not be the best place for this post but if you can point me in the right direction if not I would appriciate it. I cannot find a DC++ or any Direct connect forums. DC++ dont seem to have their own forum Any help or any direction in the right way would be greatly appriciated
Hello Ethnod, Welcome to Wilders I dont use DC+, but try:- 1/ Leave the external /Wan IP blank 2/ change the ports used, so they are above 10000 (but below 32000) 3/ use a different port for UDP / TCP Edit, Have you a software firewall installed??
I'm behind a router, unfortunatly I need to use active which means I need to use my external / Wan IP so that DC++ will know where to return the information to and so the router will pick it up and send it back to me. Just cause nothing else works I tried it though, still not working
I have just set up DC++ 698. I downloaded the Hub file o.k. Have you got the windows firewall active?
I think we need to verify. Have your port forward set up, but dont run DC++, go to https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 and verify on that page that the IP matches the WAN IP you have (to check there is no external proxy etc), then proceed from that page to the scan test. Enter the port numbers set in your port forward, and select "user specified custom port probe". The result for your port forward ports should show as closed. If these are "Stealth" then you need to recheck your setup. [Can you confirm that the server IP you have entered 192.168.1.2 is the IP of your PC, did you make this static]
~removed full quote of post just above~ I was using these: http://www.canyouseeme.org/ http://www.dslreports.com/ip to do the same, But just to be 100% I went though yours Same deal And yes its static
~removed full quote of post just above~ They are listed as closed when its not on and open when its on No info about DC++ when its open (Image 1) No security apps running while testing any of this, only hardware router
I am running out of ideas. As you have checked/ confirmed the setup is correct. Then it as to come down to either a possible conflict or TCP/IP corruption. (unless you have been using gpedit) You could try a TCP/IP reset. (but you would need to fix your IP again)
I'm out of Ideas as well mate. I've been at this for over 36hrs now. Well, not constant now. I'm giving up. I'm presently installing Bit Torrent so we will see how this works out Listen, thanks for all your help mate
been there done that mate. Infact got the techs in my ISP to make it so I got a new extenal IP (incase something was banned or something like that). Lost my connection for a while a nd when it came back I had a new extenal IIP. same problem. Tried resetting the TCP/IP incase it was a problem on my end. tried before the ISP reset and after. Nothings working. I am stummped but sure no biggie. I'll go and get the other PC out and all should be solved eventually. Again, thanks for all your help
