You sure the WindowsXP firewall is disabled, too? Maybe it was, what Titan was talking about, he wasn't very clear
 If that doesn't work: Are you connected to a router? It's possible that the router gave your new PC another IP than the old one. So some ports, that needed to be open, are just open for your old PC. At least that's what I think. |

Are you by any chance behind a router now and weren't before? You might have to make a few port redirects on it then...

How can my IP could be changed... I'm through LAN and normally if on the old computer works then on my new computer should work. The internet is working very well only connectin on the DC++ doesn't work...

It has something to do with ports. Internet is on port 80 (http). DC++ is on another port. Something is probably blocking this port. It could be the firewall, could be the router, could even be your provider.

As others have said, most likely its a router problem. Got to http://www.portforward.com/ and find your router and follow the instructions for using DC++.
