I tried turning my firewall off, it didn't help. I've also tried every one of those servers you listed, they didn't help either. I've visited sites listing servers and none worked. I'm not sure if I'm on a LAN, I'm at a University living in thier housing. I don't log in to a LAN when i start my computer, and I was told it was a direct T3 line into our rooms. If I'm on a LAN, it isn't like any I've used before. I'm running windows ME on almost a brand new machine, my computer shouldn't be a problem. Like I said, I used Bearshare just about a week ago, something changed suddenly. I also downloaded Gnotella to see if there was a problem with the Bearshare program, Gnotella didn't work either. I've had friends complain that Limewire, Gnucleus, Morpheous, and KaZaA don't work either. It may be that its a University problem, if so I'll contact them. Thank You.
