hi guys,
I have a 54Mbps wireless network connection based in Singapore from Starhub (the service provider). I get results in Shareaza but any download does not start. Ares does not connect at all..
Probably some firewall settings from the provider. It would be great if someone could tell me how to overide them. Please help!!

ARES got a new version. Download that, there wont be any issues with connectivity.


AFAIK your ISP can't do anything abt the firewall settings. All that they can do is block some ports so that you cant d/l. You can bypass the firewall (in your system), there is a tut for this purpose, search at the tuts section.

you are connected on a lan basis - ur ports are blocked as it is a lan connection.. your isp can help u in that but i think they cannot allow !
