    My acquisition on my MacBook is in a permanent state of 'connecting' showing a red icon but it never turns to green. It has been like this for a week or so now. I thought it was a fault with my wifi but it doesn't seem to be the problem. Can anyone advise?

    :confused: You're going to need to provide a bit more info that this if you seriously expect an answer !!

    What is it you're trying to acquisition ?
    What's going Red that should be Green ?
    Is the answer 9 ?

    Google says Acquisition is a P2P app.

    I'm going to go ahead and hazard a guess that you need to forward your ports.

    Have you forwarded the ports?

    Had a brief read through some of the web pages but it is above me.



    Is it just a case of entering some correct new numbers in the

    Gnutella and Bittorrent port boxes in the 'preferences/network/connectivity'

    section of Acquisition?

    All help thus far appreciated.

    You need to open ports in your router. This is a very common thing and there are plenty of guides online, but how you do it depends on the router. If you post what router you have someone might be able to help. Or have a look at this thread on the broadband forum.

    Here is a link how to port forward on your router.

    In the guide they port forward and Xbox 360 but for you, you would need to define what port(s) you want open in the acquisition app, find out the IP address on your mac and then just input those details into the modem config page just as it says in the guide.
