Windows XP SP2

One possible culprit is Windows XP SP2.

As part of a security enhancement, the TCPIP.SYS was modified with Windows XP Service Pack 2 to limit the machine to 10 pending TCP/IP connections

This breaks most Gnutella based software.

There are TCPIP.SYS hacks that remove this limit and allow your P2P applications to function again.

One such patcher can be downloaded at: »www.lvllord.de

Alot of us already know about the XP SP2 TCPIP problem. However, this isn't the problem in this case. It is definitely something within the network. Even before I applied the patch to XP, BT even worked. Now I can't even swap files on Yahoo with my family. Very frustrating when I can't send them pictures or video
