Hmm, I've followed the tips in this thread but now can't connect to the Gnutella network at all.
The whole time no firewall or parental blocks installed.
Did the following.
1) Tried running my existing Bearshare until recently got an error saying it had been discontinued (or something like that), so installed current Bearshare.
2) The current Bearshare is terrible for finding files so decided to uninstall it. It did search and download fine though.
3) Tried installing Bearflix but got an error when trying to connect to the Gnutella network.
4) Searched the net and found this thread. Uninstalled Bearflix and installed Bearshare Test (at top of this thread). Used Bearstart to run it. Same Gnutella error.
5) Uninstalled Bearshare Test and installed Bearshare Lite from Lord of Rings post. Same error connecting to Gnutella network.
I'm out of ideas for the moment
. Is there any way I can test if my computer can connect to the Gnutella network to see if its a problem with my computer or with Bearshare?
Also, found another thread where most (but not all) people seemed to think it had something to do with Tiscali (which coincidentally I'm with). Is there any way to test this? Did a search on Tiscali website but doesn't mention anything about blocking P2P or Gnutella (if indeed that's possible).
Can anyone help?
Thanks for reading
