How would I know if my ISP is blocking Soulseek?

[alejandro...@gmail.com]

It's been a couple of weeks now and while I can search files and queue for download any user that showed up in search is shown to be offline.

Not long after this the Soulseek bird goes red and shows that I'm not connected.

This doesn't happen elsewhere. Can this be a router problem or is my ISP potentially blocking Soulseek? I hadn't changed anything in Soulseek. My port check shows my ports are open.

Thanks to anyone who may be able to help me out.

Honestly look into the forwarded port again. Also make sure you have the machine using SoulSeek has a network set up as static IP. I'm not an expert or anything but you might want to try using a public "google DNS" or if you are already using a google DNS revert back to you're ISP defult DNS.. STATIC IP PORTFORWARDING DNS TROUBLESHOOT Anyone else out there, want to give your input?

Thanks for the reply. Now everything seems to be working fine. I use an Airport Extreme and I think it was having issues. Regardless I hope this helps out anyone else. I was able to go straight ot modem with no issue and after powering off the Airport and on again I don't seem to have the issue anymore, it must have had to do with updating the firmware on the Airport. It was confusing as my ports were open and active yet I was unable to see users online other than in the search.
