- Drop any firewalls, exit completely
- Close Peer Guardian and alike
- Leave ONLY your Anti-Virus running
- Do a port change again in K-Lite. Go to 65000 for now and see if it helps. It does incredible things for me
- Do not block bad IP ranges- this is temporary, for testing purposes
- Change max uploads to 3
- Change downloads to 6, increase this slowly if you get results
- No extra idle bandwidth
- Turn off Auto Search
- Now do a search for shania twain- yeah whatever, but there are a million sources!
- Let the search run for at least 2 minutes
- Stop the search and select a variety of those results with medium bandwidth and bitrate. about 20 different files for now, both video and audio
- Open a command prompt with NetScan Pro 3.3 installed
- Enable logging in NetScan Pro 3.3
- Close and reopen NetScan
- Now view logs if there are any active connections showing.
- Get any remote IP's and in the command prompt, type netstat -s 5 to show statistics. do a copy save for future refference
- If you're familiar with ping, use the command prompt. If not, get a copy of PCS Network Tools by O'Reilly and enter the IP's shown in the NetScan Pro logs. try the ping 3 times for each one and record results
- If you have NeoTrace, do a trace route on each IP that connects. record the hops info and ping times, packet loss
- If you still aren't getting connections, It's time to go into the dats for IP info and follow the ping and traces above
- If none of this helps "get" sources, at least you'll have the stats needed to properly analyze what's happening and we can go from there.
