because AOL's help is a bunch of bung I bring you this issue...
About two weeks ago i started having trouble with file transfers and direct connex. I did not change my firewall settings (in,out,proxy) and my port (5190) remains the same. I didn't download a new version (4.7 - which I believe is the latest one for MAC) and do not have a new router or firewall (NETGEAR). Nothing has changed on my end so far as I know. I've unplugged the router and rebooted. Nothing works. my ISP says theyve done nothing on their end and says it is either an AOL port issue or router forwarding issue. Just confused cos ive changed nothing! Anything you can do to help to resolve this matter would be greatly appreciated. thanks
i can receive direct connex and files just not initiate.
