Hello, I am a member of MusicETC (music sharing) and have been unable to connect due to a firewall somewhere. I have actually turned OFF my Windows Firewall and have also uninstalled my AVG Virus protector, but to no avail. I have tried adding Gnutelle as an exception to the firewall, even adding their port as an exception and nothing works. I have seen tons of other posts on various sites with this exact problem, but as of yet have read no solution. Do I have a firewall somewhere else that needs to be changed? I have Mozilla Firefox and no other anti-virus program that I know of. Any ideas?

Hello and welcome to the forum!
No IPSec policy running, right? How about hardware, what type of hardware (make and model) connects you to the internet? Perhaps your ISP’s router has something built in that is blocking MusicETC? Who is your ISP by the way?
Best regards,
Jim.
