I bow to your superior networking knowledge, but I am unable to emulate the difficulties experienced by some users. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the ADSL, and got the exact same IP address on the second connect. Then I restarted on WMe and dialled the ADSL - got the same IP as on W2000 - but no problems with my AH connect, which is generally around 135ms - not the best, but adequate. I'm actually using K-Lite, the lite version of Kazaa - would this account for the difference?

Hi Beetle, by chance was your IP address 192.168.x.y ?

No Curly. My IP was 212.41.182.128, and I can confirm that that's the address I get whenever dialling ADSL. When my girlie comes here, she connects her laptop to my network card. On THAT connection, my IP is 192.168.0.1 and hers is 192.168.0.2. But I was talking about my ADSL IP address.

I had to dissable Firewall for aces High for that same reason Beetle.It would flash up a is it ok to connect to AH window that I couldnt see.I never found a way around that.Maby you can alt tab out of it before it hits the splash screen and catch the window someway but I found it to generaly be a pain in the ass.

You could also move your downloads to another folder. If there's nothing in your shared folder no one will attempt to download from you. Of course, there must be nothing in it when you connect and the less you share the less likely someone will try to connect to you.

AH plays with ZA no problem.

You can easily set it by opening ZA and going to the program page and clicking add, browse to your AH executable and click on it.

Go back to your program page in ZA, find the AH listing and click allow to connect, you do NOT need to allow AH to act as a server.

beetle

with ZA on start AH

as soon as you click to go online press "R" (to click remember this selection) then "Y" for Yes to allow ZA to allow permission

you have to do it quick or else AH will lock as ZA freezes it out

Thanks, Cav - did all that and it worked perfectly.
