I have Kazaa, Limewire, Dc++, BearShare. Previously they could connect 2 their respective networks but then since i formatted my drive installed the os, they just dont seem 2 connect anymore.

1 Trouble shooting guide said that i might b probably connected thru a Proxy Server, I am connected 2 net using LAN, I just dont know what 2 do, Previously everything was fine.

I work on 98se, Guess its got nothing 2 do with this cos it worked pretty good b'fore i formatted the c partition

u suspect any registry link ?

cos all these are on f: while i emptied c: so virtually these r not recognised by the registry is my guess.

Please first tell us whether you use any firewall (internet security) (hardware or software based). Then detailed instructions to open ports can be given. :)

If it doesn't work, try uninstalling and re-installing the TCP/IP protocol from Network Neighbourhood (doesn't seem related, but sometimes it is).
