CONNECTION
AND FIREWALL PROBLEMS
Can't connect to
the network? Able to browse the Internet?
Then your Firewall may be blocking the Gnutella port.
To connect to
the network, you have to configure your Firewall to open a port for
Gnutella. Check instructions provided below for Windows XP Firewalls.
You can also refer to the Microsoft
page on configuring ports on Windows XP. Or if you
have other firewall like: Kerio Personal Firewall, McAfee Firewall,
Norton Personal Firewall, SyGate Personal Firewall, ZoneAlarm Firewall
please check on support of these programs to solve the problem.
