Windows XP SP2

One possible culprit is Windows XP SP2.

As part of a security enhancement, the TCPIP.SYS was modified with Windows XP Service Pack 2 to limit the machine to 10 pending TCP/IP connections

This breaks most Gnutella based software.

There are TCPIP.SYS hacks that remove this limit and allow your P2P applications to function again.

One such patcher can be downloaded at: »www.lvllord.de

Re: Windows XP SP2

Alot of us already know about the XP SP2 TCPIP problem. However, this isn't the problem in this case. It is definitely something within the network. Even before I applied the patch to XP, BT even worked. Now I can't even swap files on Yahoo with my family. Very frustrating when I can't send them pictures or video
