SP2 an WIndows XP

If you have the sp2 patch from windows on your pc the pc will automaticly block the dc++ client if you try to go to active mode. Because the computer automaticly restricts the number of connected ports ore something like that read more about this here

Windows XP SP2 will block DC++ because of the built-in firewall doesn't have the ports, that DC++ run on, opened. It has nothing to do with number of connections. SP2 limit the number of TCP connection per second to 10, but again, this has nothing to do with DC++.

Google for XP-Antispy to resolve the connection limit.

You would get an popup if you tried connection to the internett with DC++. So you can allow it or not. If I don't remember false.

well i oppened ports in my router and it never worked inn active mode before i instaled the patch i found.
And NO i didnt do anythin different.

This is bad advice.

Considering the XP SP2 TCP connection limit is 10 incomplete outgoing TCP connections per second, that implies that the sheer number of connections your computer was making before applying that patch was very large, flooding DC++ connections out. That level of flooding == zombie.

Just whispering: that XPSP2 setting should have no effect on DC++ in a generic case.

That's horrible advice!
just go to control panel, windows firewall, and add DC++ to the exceptions list.
