Lost Active mode connection

Asked by graeme3

Hi

I have been using active mode successfully for a long while but it has suddenly failed. I am using a linksys router which is set for port forwarding (TCP & UDP) for ports 9400-9600 & I have my dc++ active connection set at 9500 which is also the port I have enabled in the XP firewall setup. When I use canyouseeme for this port, it gives me a "connection time out"

I'm just about out of ideas & while I can trog along in passive mode I would really like to get back to active - help would be much appreciated:)

Many thanks - my internal IP was wrong by one digit - cmd /k ipconfig gave me the correct ip
