YET ANOTHER TROUBLESHOOTING FAQ



Q: "WHAT IS THE "AUTO-LOGIN" FEATURE AND HOW DO I ENABLE IT?"


A: YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORD AGAIN.


HERE IS HOW TO ENABLE IT:


Step One-- open your "Favorite Hubs" list (the "gold star" on the menu)

Step Two-- find the listing for the Alizée hub and left-click on it

Step Three-- left-click on the "Properties" button

Step Four-- type in your password in the "password" space
(carefull! don't make a mistake!)

Step Five-- left-click the "OK" button, then close the "Favorite Hubs" window


----NOW YOU'LL LOG IN AUTOMATICALLY.


================================================== =======



Q: "OK: I'M REGISTERED AND I LOGGED BACK IN, BUT I CAN'T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING:
NOT EVEN FILE LISTS. WHEN I TRY, I GET THE MESSAGE:

"Connection timed out"

HOW DO I FIX THIS PROBLEM SO I CAN BEGIN DOWNLOADING FROM THE HUB?





A: Solution # 1: CHANGE YOUR CONNECTION SETTINGS TO "PASSIVE".


Chances are, you are behind a firewall or router and it is blocking your
ability to connect to the hub. The quickest fix to this problem, so you
can connect to the hub and begin downloading right away, is switch to a
PASSIVE CONNECTION.


Here's how to do that:

a): Go to "File>>>>>>>>Settings>>>>>>>>>Connection Settings"

b): Enable the setting "Firewall (passive, last resort)"

c): Click "OK"

YOUR CONNECTION SHOULD NOW WORK. TRY DOWNLOADING A FILE LIST FROM
AN OPERATOR TO BE SURE.


---OR----


Solution # 2: ENABLE PORT FORWARDING AND AN "ACTIVE" CONNECTION


Passive connections have their drawbacks: you can only download from
ACTIVE users, not other PASSIVE users, your connection is a bigger
resource drain on the hub, and there are limitations of the "Search"
function. Eventually, you'll want to try to enable an ACTIVE CONNECTION.

You will do this by "poking a hole" through the HARDWARE firewall (like
a router or hub or some broadband modems) or SOFTWARE firewall (like Zone
Alarm or the Microsoft Internet Firewall)-- or BOTH-- that's blocking
your connection by opening a port (called "Port Forwarding").

Since this is meant to be a concise guide, the detailed instructions to
do this are well outside the parameters of this FAQ. However, an excellant
guide can be found at the DC++ Forum. The link to the "How can I set up
active mode" FAQ is below:

The "Broadband Reports" website has an excellant dc++ FAQ also. Here's a link:

Q: "HOW DO I GRANT A FAVORITE USER AN AUTO-SLOT?"



--This means as long as it is activated, the designated user will be automatically
granted a slot no matter how many upload slots you currently have open--


1) Right-click on the nick of the person you want to grant an auto-slot to,
and select "add to favorites."

2) Open your "Favorite Users" Menu (the blue star on the menu bar)

3) Put a "check" in the box in the "Auto grant slot/nick" column next to that
user's nick.



--YOU'RE DONE!----
