hey DJ_NIKAZ,

Do you have any kind of windows Firewall/ Zonealarm etc...? If yes, most probably thats the problem. Make sure they don't block the P2P software from accessing the internet (firewall settings). If you manage let me know please

i have no firewalls that i know of, but just to be on the safe side, how do i check?

You have no firewalls, and you're using P2P programs? Not using a firewall is a sure fire way to get your machine severely infected...trust me on this.

First, see if the Windows XP firewall is running. It's not the greatest, but it's better than none. Go to Start>Control Panel>Windows Firewall, and see if it's set to "on". If not, DO turn it on. At least your incoming traffic will be monitored.

You need to get a GOOD firewall. I personally use the free Zone Alarm one. It's easy to use, and I know many others around here who use it as well. You can get it HERE
