Help...no one can get files from me....

We recently got DSL and ever since, people will try to upload from me and their uploads never start. What do I need to change my settings to so that people can upload from me? I hate watching all these uploads fail while I am downloading from others; it makes me feel like a leech. I don't have many files, but I would like what I have to be available. Thanks.

it is an issue with the port you are using for udp connections.

there are several possible causes and a variety of options to fix it.

You did not mention a router, so I will assume you dont have one, if you do you will need to port forward the ports you use for tcp and udp through your router (typically 6699 and 6257) .

if you are not behind a router you will be able to ignore the above statement.

But either way this page will direct you on what you need to do http://vladd44.com/uploads.html

good luck.
