Active mode requires both TCP and UDP access on the same port for DC++ to work properly

 

First you need to set up the router to forward the connections to the computer with DC++. This is could be called Port mapping, port redirecting, port forwarding or something like that. Find out how to do this with your router/NAT in the user manual. 

You need to forward one port (select a number between 1024 - 65535, they should mostly all be free. The default port is 1412, but it is wise to select a unique one) and make sure both UDP and TCP is forwarded.

The IP that you are forwarding to should be the internal IP address of your DC++ computer. It usually begins with "192.168", "172.16." or "10.x.". Go to the command prompt and type: ipconfig

When you have mapped a port, you need to open up DC++ and go to the settings. Where you select active mode, in the port field, enter the port number that you are forwarding on the router.

In the IP field, you need to enter the external IP address of your router. This can easily be checked on here. Sometimes your IP address changes, if you have a dynamic IP, when you disconnect from your internet connection. Check your IP every now and then to make sure. It should now be working. If it is working for a while, but the next time you use DC++, you only get "Connection Timeout?s or no results when searching, your IP is likely to have changed.

 

What about ZoneAlarm?

Forget it. ZoneAlarm is a known issue with DC++, it causes corrupted downloads/uploads, this is directly linked with the 'Rollback Consistency' error message. You need to completely uninstall it, just disabling it will not help, and then get another firewall.

 

Windows XP?

If you're running windows XP you need to make sure the built-in-firewall of XP is disabled.
