I realise this is a common problem, but I've tried all the normal guides and FAQ's I could find and I just cant get active mode to work! I'm not new to this, have been using DC++ clients for years now and untill a few months ago always in active mode with portforwarding. Here are some details: ApexDC++ 1.0.0B4 Set to using active mode with manual portforwarding TCP 12345 and UPD 12346, TLS 0, Bind Adres is my internal IP, external IP is checked as well WinXP pro (Firewall is OFF) Sagem Livebox Fast 3202 (Orange ADSL) No other firewall (unless ClamWin or PC Tools Spyware Docter has some firewall that I´m not aware off) I used the connection checker, it says both ports are connected so I assume the portforwarding is working ok. I doublechecked my IP adresses, and set up a static internal adress outside the DCHP range just to be sure, although this is the only PC connected. If somebody know something I can try, please let me know!!

Good point. The connection settings for the hub I'm logged in to are set to "Default" in ApexDC, so I dont think thats it...

Still, I dont think the settings are the problem. I use the same settings in ApexDC and CZDC. Somehow CZDC is working in Active mode and ApexDC isnt. Any ideas?

Can it be that it has to do with the version? CZDC is at version 0.699 now. There has to be some explanation, because I used the same settings.

Somebody on the hub advised me to get CZDC, said it solved the problem for him. So I downloaded it and it works!! Any idea why CZDC is working and ApexDC not? Its too bad really because I like ApexDC better for the options and the layout

Hi Zlobomir, It dousn't annoy me, I'm glad that you're trying to help!! I set up teh static IP according to the guide on http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm Even though, I also thecked the "Update IP on startup" box. I know Active mode isnt working because I cant search and I cant download file lists from users, other users can download from me though. As soon as I switch to Passive, I'm able to search and download.

Hi Zlobomir, thanks for the reply. So I should use the internal IP as "bind adress" and the Sagem is my router. Is there any other setting that I can check? Like I said, the connection checker says it connects OK to both ports, so I'm a bit lost wehere to look...

Enternal?? Do you mean internal or external? I'm connected trough the Sagem Livebox from my provider, nothing else. Is that a router?
