I'm setting up a Direct Connect hub for our LAN party to distribute game patches etc. Have been doing that for years with few problems. I've now upgraded to Windows 7 (RC) and no one can connect to me. I can connect to the local hub (running port 411)

I am now testing with 2 computers on a local LAN (same switch) I can connect to the other computer and see its files, but not to the new Windows 7.

I've granted dcplusplus.exe access in the windows 7 firewall. I have also completely switched of the windows 7 firewall with no success. I have installed no other firewalls.

Did I miss something?

This is caused when you dont run your DC++ app as administrator , i know for a fact that this what happened to me. If you dont run as admin 2 things will happen. People will generally not be able to connect to you without you granting them a slot and any files you hash will not be saved. So the next time you start your app it will start reshashing all the files again.

Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads available there for additional assistance and feedback.

Try also :

  • completely turning off UAC
  • turning off ALL antiviruses
  • setting the compatibility mode of dcplusplus.exe to XP
