Hi,

When I try to connect I get "Connection timed out"

I never used to get this msg till now.

I use:

V2.1 build 924 NOT registerd.

Running windows XP pro. Not behind a rougter or NAT.

I am running a firewall but I set it to "permit all" to allow it to connect (still no luck)

I am running an anti virus.

Running DSL.

If anyone can help, that would be soooo great. :)

Some software firewalls can't be disabled, they may have a disable option but it really has no effect.

if you still can't traceroute or ping to that host then it's possibly something wrong with that host or something in network connection between you and that host

What do you mean by traceroute?

+ my bittorrent cant connect to anyone to, so I dunno whats going on but they both need to connect to other people, and both wont connect....

you obviously have a PC/internet connection problem. you'll be best to consult with a tech board in those areas
