windows Millennium pentium3@1Gig, cable service-Cablevision, Optimum Online. VirusScan-McAfee. Switched TCP connection to unable to accept incoming TCP Connections now it's saying connection reset by peer. It let some people connect though. Still trying different ports.
Ahhh Optimum Online seem to have the same thing that Cox do. (Are they the same company???) P2P is effectively blocked as far as it can be. The suggested fix is to map TCP to port 443 and map UDP to port 1032. These ports are reserved for special uses such as secure web sites so cannot be blocked. For the moment, they remain active. Give it a go.
WOW!!!!!!! That did it, it works fine now. You guys are great. Thank you so much.
Awesome to see it worked...I had the same troubles and set my ports to 120 and 80... 
and funny how it just goes right through now...lol..
Anywayz.. Krb its great your fixed!! Merry Christmas to yas...or i should say to those who wanted your files...hehehe

I've got uploads timing out again, seems my cable is effectively blocking alot of my uploads and only letting a few in. Back in Dec04 Rat told me to use TCP port 443 & UDP port 1032 and that has worked fine until few days ago, timing out just started again. Me Here told me to try TCP port 120 & UDP 80 but it's doing the same just letting only some upload.

Well aside from the obvious answer of complaining or changing ISP , you will need to obtain some sort of packet shaping program, as this is the new way of detecting and disrupting P2P users.
I,ll keep my eye open for a better program than the one I suggested the other day, but I do think this is the problem .
Vladd also mentioned this technique, with some details showing that this system operates without reading the packet header , its signature matching
the packets against a database, and allowing or disrupting your connections based on that.

You can be sure your provider has spotted by now that many of it's clients are still using p2p programs despite their best efforts to stop it.
You can also be sure that they know who those clients are... and maybe even what software they're using.
I was recently treated to a first hand demonstration of this cos a network admin here spotted some unusual activity from my machine he didn't recognise. (It looked like e-donkey but it wasn't.) I was sent the logs. Still being a linux newbie, I had been blissfully unaware of just how much data can be collected about what you're doing on the 'net. Many admins now use software such as that mentioned by Quicksilver (above) to monitor and control the flow of traffic through the servers. One example is ntop, a unix based network monitor which is now also available for the win32 platform. Here's a bit from the ntop site (I've hilighted a few important lines):
Anyway, this means they can identify you... and it means they know if you have p2p traffic... and it means they have a good idea which p2p software you're using. (Except that what appeared to be E-donkey on my machine was not... more likely it was waste). It definitely correctly identifies winmx.
If you want to know more about ntop, their site is at http://www.ntop.org
To fix krb's current problem, I can only suggest a change of provider.

Ooooh pretty scary huh? It gets plenty worse... I've seen it.What can ntop do for me?
# Sort network traffic according to many protocols
# Show network traffic sorted according to various criteria
# Display traffic statistics
# Store on disk persistent traffic statistics in RRD format
# Identify the indentity (e.g. email address) of computer users
# Passively (i.e. withou sending probe packets) identify the host OS
# Show IP traffic distribution among the various protocols
# Analyse IP traffic and sort it according to the source/destination
# Display IP Traffic Subnet matrix (who's talking to who?)
# Report IP protocol usage sorted by protocol type
# Act as a NetFlow/sFlow collector for flows generated by routers (e.g. Cisco and Juniper) or switches (e.g. Foundry Networks)
# Produce RMON-like network traffic statistics

is it a filter that's in my modem, for I had a different modem the first time from my cable company and this problem I never had, I stoped service for about 6 months and went to DLS and came back to cable modem again but this time they gave me a different modem from the one I had before.
