i cant upload to the inteernet at all. I tried to transfer files with kopete. and just simply just uploading to internet.

what? uploading to the internet? don't quite get you?
you mean like sending somebody a file?

**nathj72** · 01-05-2005

ya, its like all outgoing traffic from my computer is being blocked, but there is no firewall on

**lakerdonald** · 01-05-2005

do you have a router?

**stathisx** · 01-05-2005

have you checked the iptables ?maybe there are some rules that block the outgoing traffic.or the router has a build-in firewall.

**nathj72** · 01-05-2005

yes the router does have a firewall but it has never affected it b4, and when i use windows everything works fine

**nathj72** · 01-05-2005

i am a COMPLETE newbie what are the iptables?

Are you trying to ftp files? If so, kopete isn't going to work. Try gFTP or some such similar program. Also, if you can't send files using kopete, try using xchat.
