DSL makes no difference. i have DSL and can send fine when i open up the
ports on my router. i just open up port 2000-9999 to make sure i got the
right one =P

3000 is the right one in a default setting <g>.

Works fine with various dsl lines here, btw. :-)

I did try to help him, and, when his Ordenery PC have no problem with this,
only the laptop, it can't be the router.
He did turn of the firewall as well, with no luck, and he does not run
firewalls at the laptop at the moment eighter ( not installed ).
his [transfer] part in aworld is correct as well.

DSL seems to make a difference. Several people with DSL
cannot send but receive files.

I am not connected through any router, switch, firewall or
whatever. My connect request for file transfer arrives on
the receivers side, Andras checked it with a paket monitor,
but the receiver does not reply.
This shows that it is not a port specific problem.

It is not hardware specific either. I use a DSL modem card
and have T-DSL (german Telecom DSL, slightly different from
standard ADSL), Count Dracula from Finland has an external
DSL modem and a network card I think. Both is asynchronous DSL.

We tested it in a universe that allows 2.2 and had the same
problem, it is a very old bug.

Changing the max. MTU size didn't fix the problem.

My guess : it is a timing problem.

Try port=3000 - this is the default file transfer port.

Behind a firewall, only one (1) computer will work with the default
setting, for additonal ones, you must enable a different port on the
router and also in the aw program (as in the example, eg. port=877)

he did try 877 as he have allready told, with no luck, and I have no longer
any idea why it wont work
and at the router port 877 was open he said.

Hmm, maybe one of the development team can say if the trigger connection
is coming in via another port (similar to DirectPlay8 where you need
effectively 2 different ports forwarded)?
