Dear all,

I'm trying to connect to localhost:8000 but every time I try it comes up with the following message...

'No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it'

I've successfully used twofo in the past, i've checked my IP and I'm sharing over 100GB but still no success. Please help.

Regards
Coqui

Make sure stunnel is running please. That should fix your problem.

Stunnel is definitely running and the message still appears. Any other suggestions?

BTW I'm running stunnel 4.22

What OS are you running? And is dc++ allowed to conenct to localhost (any firewall rules blocking DC++)

Am running Vista Premium. Windows firewall is off as I run norton internet security with its own firewall, have set DC++ and Stunnel to 'allow' on the settings but this doesnt seem to make a difference.

Right there seems to be an indiscrepency. Did you downlaod stunnel from the twofo sources? As the version available with preconfigured settings is 4.15.

Try redownload stunnel from http://www.twofo.co.uk/resources/stunnel.zip and then try it. (so delete the existing stunnel)

yeah well done, rampage. i would say that i couldn't have put it better myself, but i could have put it better myself, so i won't say that i couldn't have put it better myself, because if i were to lesser myself in order to better yourself then myself would become less superior to yourself meaning that yourself would think that they could put it better than myself whereas i can actually better myself above yourself.

well quite frankly I think the solution is obvious.

uninstall VISTA and get a proper operating system.
