I'm having that same exact problem as well. It was working a few weeks ago and now it stopped. It says connecting at the top and never moves. I've re-installed it multiple times and my firewall has been disabled and my anti virus uninstalled.

The strange this i have two different OS on my laptop, Windows XP PRO and Windows Vista Business and Ares wont work on EITHER of them.

I found the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHEN YOU LOAD ARES MAKE SURE NO OTHER DOWNLOADING PROGRAMS ARE OPEN AT THE SAME TIME.......
CONNECT TO THE SERVER YOURSELF!!!!!!!!SOMEHOW WHEN LOADING ARES WHILE ITS TRYING TO CONNECT ITSELF WONT GET CONNECTED PROPERLY......

1.DONT LOAD ARES WHEN WINDOWS START
2.MAKE SURE EVERYTIME YOU CONNECT MANUALLY ON ARES

ENJOY....TELL EVERYBODY,IM LAZY TO TYPE

Hey,

Try dissabling your windows firewall,

START > CONROL PANEL > SECURITY CENTER TURN IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That worked for me straight away.

Good luck dude.

I´ve just downloaded the latest version of ares. It is ares destiny vista but it dosn´t connect either i don´t know why. But the latest version is not free so ares is not free anymore so i guess that it won´t connect unless we pay.

First are you using a ds. if you are then i may be able to help you.ok then, do you have a ds games with a wifi connection then put it in and get to the game menu.then,click on nintendo wifi connection .click on nintendo wi-fi connection settings.now there should be three slots which say connection 1,connection 2,and connection 3.if you have an antenna usb which plugs into your computer then click on connect to your nintendo wi-fi usb connector.if not then click on none on one of the connection buttons.o and i forgot to tell you if the game uses wi-fi it will say in a blue circle on the top left corner wi-fi.well as i was saying once you click on the connection button click on search for an access point if you have a wireless router which doesn`t have a firewall.it should say searching for access point and then show the wireless routers name click on it .it will then say testing connection.and if the connection is a success then thats it

Buckie,

I highly doubt its a ISP problem. A friend of mine uses ARES and we are both on the same network. He gets connected in a matter of seconds when he opens ARES.

Hey people,

I've found the solution for the problem at another thread. I wont even take credit for it so im copying and pasting it here the same way i found it there. Mine works now. I'm just sad for the people who went ahead and bought the new one.

Hi, had same problem when I reloaded windows os,just says connecting and thats all,but as luck would have it. I had my shared folder on a second drive,not on the default ares folder I do this to have more space for my downloads.What happens is as soon as I changed folder from ares default to my second drive,which of course I named ares shared folder,restarted ares and as soon as it started loading my downloads ares connected online,tried this with my mates pc,taking my drive to his pc,dragging and dropping into his newly created ares shared folder,again not ares default,and ares connected onlline,only tried this the two times,hope it works for you.

Hello...
i've had the same problem for a few days.....
now that i have my computer working i tried again but it wouldn't connect again...
so i tried this....
1.- open ARES and wait a moment....
2.- after it says connecting for a little while go to control panel and disconnect....
3.- wait about 30 sec and connect again
after doing this it sholud connect and work right... if not just do 2 and 3 a couple more times...

let me know if it works for you....

bye....

Carl321, on Nov 8, 2008 11:58:50 pm GMT

Hey

i have the same problem too, im assuming its your firewall stopping ARES from accessing the internet, i tried to find my firewall settings but couldent because i have a very old Windows XP. If you can access you fire wall settings, give it a go and click on 'add exception' then you can choose which programs you want your firewall to access the internet, in this case, ARES. You need Service Pack 2 in order to do this though.

Reply to Carl321

ryan, on Jun 10, 2009 5:37:34 am BST

Try disconnecting it- wait 35 seconds-reconnect it- try that three or four times and it will connect, i just did it 5 minutes ago and i am on line now. thanks for the advice form others, much appreciated.

Cohen, on Nov 11, 2008 10:16:32 pm GMT

Hi, i have the same problem too. i have windows vista and it just keeps saying connecting but never connects. everyone keeps giving the advice of checking the exceptions on each of your firewalls which i have done, and made exceptions for ares. I have even turned them all off to see if it wors still with no luc k which means it cannot be a firewall problem... is it anything to do with the ports im sharing through... any help would be appreciated thanks

Hey. I had the same problem but if you go into the control pannel and click on transfer, theres a box saying what port to use. delete that number then close ares down. then reload ares and a different port number would have been found. then ares will start working. well it did for me anyways.

Hey I have the same problem... with every P2P

I used to have limewire but it stopped connecting so i tried ares, it connect for a couple days... now it doesn't... it is the newest version but just sits there connecting. weird thing is... I can still search and download... ti just seems really erratic and sometimes won't download for a bit/ goes really slow.

Thanx mate have been looking for the old edition of ares i use to have it and without fail everytime it would connect and it does now i'm all set for downloading again i had ares ultra 4.0 and it wouldn't connect so i am glad to get this version back once you install it it takes about a minute to connect then it will connect everytime without fail so thankyou so much.

I really want to try that because nothing else is working, but I've heard that if you do that then all the music you've downloaded from Ares gets deleted... I'm really afraid to try it!!

I have Frostwire now and it's ridiculous, this is driving me crazy!

Just change the internet home adress by the tab general.
Make sure auto connect to network is selected.

Then restart your pc.
Load ares and it should work just fine.
