This is most often caused by a firewall blocking DC++. Things you want to check: XP Firewall, Software firewall (Kerio, Norton Personal Firewall, Zone Alarm, Sygate, etc) or a router/NAT (this includes those connecting from a University or workplace).
To resolve this issue, there are several things one must check: •Disable the XP firewall. Follow the first part of this guide to where it's located.
•Setup rules in your software firewall to allow DC++ traffic through. Many guides can be found here.
•Enable port forwarding on your router. Follow this FAQ on how to fix it.
•Connect to hubs on non-standard ports, which can be found by looking through the public hub lists for those which have port numbers appended (i.e. myhub.kicks-ass.net:9821).
•If you're connecting from a University or workplace, then read this FAQ. Often there is nothing you can do to make DC++ work.
•Change to passive mode.
