My computer has been having problems with TCP ports for around 3 months now heres the details on the problem. I have tried all simple solutions such as restarting i have not reformated yet but it is an option i was wondering if anyone has had this problem with windows XP and has solved it without reformating.1.Cannot connect to any downloaded programs except things that use UDP2.Some internet sites will not load3.When using a port checker error [Port refused connection] both when firewall is off and when port is an allowed 1 person got this answerI do too

Have you tried removing TCP/IP and reinstalling it?SC Tom

How would i do that?

Go to Start > Settings > Network Connections. Right-click on your internet connection and pick Properties. Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the list and click on Uninstall. Click on OK. You may be asked to reboot. If not, do so anyhow.Once you're back up, go to Properties again and click on Install. Pick Protocol, then click Add. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list and click on OK, and you're done.Unless you're in a company network environment, you can most likely get away with automatic settings, without having to put any IP addresses in.SC Tom

Ok so i followed the steps and i still have the problem. :(also my tcp/ip verstion is 6 would that need to be updated?

Ok so i followed the steps and i still have the problem. :(also my tcp/ip verstion is 6 would that need to be updated?What operating system are you using?Did you run a thorough malware/virus scan on your system?What type of Router/Modem are you using?Try this:Open a run command and type in:ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]ipconfig /renew click [OK]netsh winosck reset click [OK]Reboot your machine and see if the connection behave correctly!Does other applications and tasks work okay? nass -- http://www.nasstec.co.uk

The first is necessary, IP6 is not.SC Tom
