Soulseek General Discussion

Upgraded my home wireless to a Virgin Superhub 2 by Netgear. Then installed SoulseekQT.

Have done port forwading.
"IP: 82.28.36.36 Port: 61681/tcp open. Your router and Soulseek client is configured correctly."
"IP: 82.28.36.36 Port: 61682/tcp open. Your router and Soulseek client is configured correctly."

Then went to the wireless router and switched off the firewall in the router.

Have toggled the uPnP and NAT-PMP options.

Still no connection. What else can I do? Anybody else had Virgin Superhub 2 problems? How can I tell if its a router issue or something else?

Thanks all,

Charlie

if uPnP and NAT enabled on you router and SS don't work, you may to try DMZ. It's automaticaly forvard all ports and connections.

I know a lot of UK ISPs either cripple or block Soulseek connections. Does changing the server port under Options->Login make a difference?

Virgin doesn't deliberately block or cripple Soulseek. I can't figure out why it wont work. Just downloaded older Soulseek and tried that with the same result.

Can anybody see anything in this that indicates a possible problem?

I'd be interested to hear a solution to this as I jave the same issue. one day soulseek / qt worked fine, the next day it stopped. I've had the superhub 2 for a quite a while and it used to work fine.
