ok i'll try to be a little more cordial this time
i just installed simply mepis 6.5 on my home built hand me down computer
amd athlon xp 1.2
1 gig mem
80 gig hd
i downloaded and installed froswire for debian/ubuntu from the frostwire site.
i had frostwire and it worked great before and i get really frustrated when something works and someone has to go messing with it
my philosophy is, if it works don't fix it.
anyway, frostwire installed without a hitch but when it starts everything appears normal but it stays at starting connection. after reading quite a few posts i did a few things and still no luck. i dmz'ed my routers firewall and the guarddog firewall is set to accept gnutella networks. the only thing left is port configuration. but i couldn't find any numbers for that. hope thats enough info
i'm sorry i was so short. i'm pretty much used to mepis forums where answers come in minutes.
