Why can't I download/upload using Npaster, now that i got cable?

[EvilDonnyboy]

Ever since i got @home cable 2 days ago, i can't seem to download or upload anything over napster.

I can log on, search and chat. But when i try to download, im forever "getting info". When somebody tries to downlaod from me, they are forever "waiting".

I've set both "maximum uploads/downloads per user" to 2, without using a proxy. These are the same settings that had alwaz worked with dial-up.

I think it's due to the slowdown of Napster servers, takes me longer with DSL. I haven't been on in a few days though.

Did you check that you were behind a firewall? Are you? Did you set that up right. You might uninstall it and reinstall, letting it detect you connection.

n/m it works. re-installed napster, it said i appeard to be behind a firewall, and set itself up for it. Now, i don't have a software firewall program, or a hardware firewall machine. But it works now, so who cares. I think the @home servers have a firewall setup or something.

Try using a different server with the Napster client via Napigator (that is do not use Napster corp's servers) and see if it works.

for some reason mine stopped automatically coneecting to the server. I now have to manually connect when it boots up napster
