Interesting problem-- we put in a LinkSys EtherFast Cable/DSL router, and Gnutella, which had been running perfectly, now loses the outgoing GnutellaNet connections it establishes within minutes-- and no incoming connections ever seem to get through. We have enabled WAN requests on the router, and forwarded port 6346 requests hitting the router to the internal private IP that is running the client. Outgoing GnutellaNet connections now get established, but drop after one to two minutes. We have tried forcing our local IP to the IP given the router by the WAN, and also tried leaving the "force local IP" box unchecked. Deinstalling the router lets Gnutella run properly again, but that is not a useful solution. Any ideas? Many thanks -- lwm
