I need (routing?) help.
(warning: long story approaching)
I haven't been using soulseek much since I came home from school (33k dial-up) but it has been working.
1.5 wks. ago, we finally upgraded to hi-speed wireless (local provider)
for the first week, we didn't have a router. we just power cycled the radio, and plugged in whatever computer we needed to be using at the time. (soulseek was still working)
then, saturday, we got a router, configed it, and all of the computers were up and running.
and soulseek wouldn't work anymore.
It connected, and showed my friends list, but it wouldn't transfer files, or even search. according to the SlSk message board, this is usually caused by the listening ports on your router being closed.
I spent the next few days trying to set up the router to let the slsk ports thru, so I could feed my anime addiction, but no luck. yesterday, I finally got pissed off, cut the router back out of the circut, and connected directly to the radio again. BAM!! soulseek is working again.
the problem is, after about 4 hours of working, it has gone back to the behaviour it was exhibiting when I was plugged into the router, but I'm not anymore.
anyway, if you've actually read this, and have ANY advice to offer, I'm begging for help.
