Download problem - connecting timout

[HUI 0]

Hi everybody,

I am having troble downloading form other people, I can't even get a filelist of other people, it just won't download anything.

After a while, the status shows: connection timeout

the strange thing is, that other people can still download from me...

It used to work alright, then I didn't use it for a while, and when I used it again, the problem turned up.

Can somebody please help me?

THX already!!

I already tried following things which did not help:

- reinstall the programm (ApexDC 1.1.0)

- IP-Change

you need to configure your ruter, if you have one..

also, you need to make sure no firewall is blocking your apexdc++ connections..

also, if you have any antivirus software, configure it to allow apex access to the internet..

Just one more point also, altho burek has it pretty well covered. In order for the info you enter into External/WAN IP to be used you need to set yourself to firewall with port forwarding.

On a true, direct connection, such information does not matter hence the client does not recognise it with such option checked.
