Help with dynamic IP and active mode

[Chad 0]

I can't get this going at all. Impossible

I have setup everything as should and I get no search results at all

See attached. What to do?

I have a Belkin Pre-N router and Optimum Online ISP

DC++ works fine, why not APEX?

Click on the Get IP Address button and it''l grab your dynamic IP.

I know that. That IP shown is my IP address, still does not work

[Zlobomir 3]

AFAICS your LAN IP is 192.168.2.1, and you are setting to 192.168.2.2.

So then you haven't set up your ports correctly. Use this guide for that.

Do you mind splitting the topic and moving to Support? Wish I could do it...

[Lee 84]

Done. :)

maybe, but i suspect this is the ip address of the router, 192.168.2.1.

AFAICS, do you have more then one network card or do you have a software firewall. could you also confirm 192.168.2.2 is you addy, e.g. windows -> run "cmd /k ipconfig". TBH you are probably best trying to get hold of some one in TGO. Could you also say what hubs you are tying to search in. some hubs require you to reg before you can search.

And do not rely on "Check Connection" for now. :)

I did not setup port forwarding incorrectly unless your blind

It works fine for DC++, just not in APEX DC++

In APEX, I can't use manual port forwarding, can't use passive, can't use

anything! Why does it work in DC++ then?

I'm using official Vista RTM

Limewire, DC++ both work but not APEX

I can grab the public list and connect, but I cannot get file lists nor search results

I do not have software firewall installed, I have Avast Antivirus installed only.

I tried 192.168.2.1 for "network interface for all connections"

What should go in TLS?

How can you use official Vista, as it is not out for retail customers as of yet...

TLS, you can leave empty.

You people are so clueless.

PLZ, don´t be rude.

Use bind address to map your LAN IP and use the same IP in router. If you have ApexDC 0.4.0 then it have a drop down box with your LAN IP in bind address.

There are more things you have to check like software firewall, try disable it and try again.

I've got RTM too, though i ain't a MSDN subscriber (borrowed it from a friend :whistling:), unactivated Vista isn't an illegal software, we know that, but don't be rude.

I know what RTM means, thank you but since you didn't tell that you are an msdn subscriber it's perfectly normal for us to assume that your version would've been pirated as with majority of people that use vista now that's the case (in this forum anyways since ApexDC is a P2P software after all, even if we do not approve nor encourage usage for illegal activities...)
