Ports not working
Port 53345/tcp closed
How do I rectify this. It was connecting and working properly last week
Port 34242/tcp closed
How to fix this. It was connecting and working properly some days ago
It could be lots of things
There's no magic "just make it work" button. Think and investigate and try different things.
We don't know what you know about how computer networks work, and this isn't the place to explain it all to you. What I can say is that Soulseek is like most any other networking client: When it starts up, it asks the OS to let "listen" on a couple of TCP ports, and it also asks your router (via UPnP) to open and forward corresponding ports. In other words, it asks your router to accept and forward any incoming traffic marked as being for that port to the same port (usually) on your computer. It's like your computer is bypassing the router and sits directly on the Internet, but just for traffic on that one port.
If the port isn't open at the router, then the traffic is rejected at the router. If the port isn't also open on your computer, then the traffic is rejected at your computer. Either way, the port appears "closed" to the outside world.
Maybe your router has the port open, but your ISP is blocking the incoming traffic before it ever gets to you (some UK ISPs do this). Maybe your router isn't accepting UPnP requests to open the port and just needs to be rebooted or its configuration adjusted. Maybe the router has the port open, but the one on your computer is closed because something else on your computer is using or blocking it (firewall? OS update reset something?)
This should get you started.
