I've updated the guide to make it simple for new users to understand and correctly setup ApexDC++.

Don't forget one could always use canyouseeme.org to check if your ports are open or closed  as well

If you don't have a router, you should have no problems at all getting active.
So, what Operating System, what firewall, and what version of Apex are you using please?

Sorry, I actually managed to get active in the end But now I've been having ANOTHER problem haha. I was registering for a public hub.. disconnected and tried to reconnect when I get another error..

"[14:22:07] *** An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."

Most definitely a problem with your internet connection. Try restarting your router and reconnecting.

Hi - New here, but not new to ApexDC++

Just had a new router installed and suddenly i cannot get into Active.

I had PortForward program set up my ports, and checked the values against CanYouSeeMe.org.
All ports were regognised there.

Still people can upload from me, but i cannot search.

I think i have tried all i know of, but to no use - being in Passive gives me the search, but not the right way to be connected.

Anything you can recommend me trying, since validating tells me i am right - but fact shows me otherwise.

Also when i try to check in the Settings for check connection - it gives me a green light and say Connection OK.

Misery here - help needed

A new router installed?? anything changed in your network?
Did you read the manual or only use the PortForward programm?
A new router could change the internal IP's and your pc could have some trouble getting the correct IP.
Ports could be in use by another programm perhaps?
The trouble started after you installed the router, so most likely the problem is the routers settings...
