Soulseek General Discussion

Hi!
I'm using soulseek from over 10years... and since 3 weeks, I can't connect to soulseek server from my 3 computer!!
error message: Could not connect to server. If your internet connection is up, the server might be temporarily down. Please try again later.

So, I check my ports -> no problem, they are open.
I turn off my firewall.
I check to ping server.slsknet.org(208.76.170.59) and slsknet.org(208.76.170.51) -> no problem I've got respons from them...

I use Soulseek 157NS13e on my 3 computer (Win7 and Win8).

I try to install the last version -> connecting ... Disconnected, connecting ... Disconnected, connecting ... Disconnected, connecting ... Disconnected, ...

What must I do!

thanks for your help;)

Or could soulseek block my IP adress??

I saw that someone can Ban my IP adress... I think that is the problem (I've got Fix IP and I can't change).
Could someone unban me, please! :)

or maybe is your ISP, try to restart your modem/router or shutdown it for few hours to get a new IP.

it was not my ISP because it works good for people whose have the same ISP than my.
I ask Nir to clear all the IP bans and now all is ok :)
