I can't get any p2p programs to work. I'm running Norton Firewall but I've turned that off when I want to run a p2p program.

All they seem to do is crash my connection. What am I doing wrong?

[mindmetoo]

Are you running XP pre-sp2 with microsofts own stealth firewall enabled?

[jazblanc77]

Which P2P are you using? Which firewall are you using?

You should never turn off your firewall. Go to the FAQ section of the help for whichever P2P program you are using and find out which ports you should open for it to work.

You could also try using Bit Torrent. Torrents operate through HTTP so if your browser is working alright, you should be able to download easily.

Umm... I suppose if you never ask questions you never get answers.

I was trying to use Shareaza. I'm using Norton Firewall.

As for XP I have no idea. I'm such a luddite.

Cheers for the responses.

C:/WINDOWS/system32/P2P Networking/P2P Networking.exe

What does this file do?

My Norton has determined it is an at risk file now.

I think it came with Kazaa, and Kazaa seems to work without it. I don't want to permanently delete it should it be important.

The "Clot Factor" is a measure of how much a pest "gums up" a machine by adding registry entries, files, and directories. As more objects are placed in a machine, manual removal becomes more difficult and more error-prone.
