Hi Lee, I appologize for my late response. I was absent for a while. With yor help and the help of the link you sent me I have maanaged to solve the problem: In the "Settings" of my Apex I have changed the TCP and UDP port numbers by other numbers randomally chosen by me. (Of course, I opened said new port numbers in the Windows firewall and in the Router).It worked for a few days, however then I got again the "Failed to create...." message. Hence, I changed again the port numbers and now it works again. I assume that happenes to other Apex users too. Thanks a lot tibist

Hi, My operating system is Windows XP Home Edition, the version of my ApexDC++ is 1.2.1, and the only Firewall I am having in my PC is the one included in Windows XP. As you undoubtedly know, in ApexDC > Files > Settings one can select one of the following options:- Direct Connections, Firewall with UPnP, and Firewall with manuall port fowarding. When I started ApexDC, the option seleced was "Firewall with UPnP" and I saw there numbers of the TCP and UDP ports. Hence, I added the numbers of those ports into Windows Firewall's' "Exceptions". Next, I connected to any Public Hubs and searched for "setup.exe" files. There appeared a lot of such files (I found also many other files). However, afterwards, when I selecetd the "Direct Connection" option, I could find not even one setup.exe or any other file (which I found previously - when the selected option was "Firewall with UPnP"). Since I saw in this Forum that the recommended option is "Direct Connection" I would like somebody there to help me to overcome the above mentioned problem (namely, to select the "Direct Connection" and still be able to find files). Thanks. dezder
