DreadWingKnight Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Have you made sure nothing else on the machine is using the listen port you're trying to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Win 95 has to have its winsock patched (or in other words to be the last series of patches Microsoft released for Win 95) before it will work ok with µTorrent.You'll probably need to disable UPnP, Local Peer Discovery, DHT (both kinds) in µTorrent on Win 95.

jacew Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 winsock.dll files version is 4.00.1114 (did you mean that?). I turned both DHT:s, local peer discovery and UPnP off and restarted client, nothing helpTracker status is "hostname not found" I just looked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 If you are patched and configured correctly a torrent from http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ or http://www.slackware.com/torrents/ should work. Hostname not found denotes a DNS error at your end.if you open up a command prompt, what do you see when you try ping www.google.com I get: Pinging www.l.google.com [72.14.253.147] with 32 bytes of data:Reply from 72.14.253.147: bytes=32 time=323ms TTL=238 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajones81 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Which software firewall do you have? Simply shutting down a firewall does no good as it often leaves its hooks in place. Uninstalling is the only option, so can you do that temporarily and reboot to check?Also, re. that Winsock patch, are you sure you've applied this (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182108)?

jewelisheaven Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 If a ping to google goes "hostname not found", i'd re-set your internet settings on the computer, or at the very least (ON XP) repair the connection if you are DHCP.There is a problem with your DNS servers. If you statically set your IP, check your router for updated DNS server information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacew Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I meant i get same message than you (of course with different different ip and time). i try to update my winsock (im not sure what i have)I got it working, i didn´t have winsock2 that was the problem, thanks for all helpers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
