hey joe....
thanks for ur interest in solving my poblem...


anyways....i did try the code...that i posted..with gnutella 0.56...with similar results..that is it is not showing the packets...that i sent...in the SRD fields.

which means that i am doing something wrong in my code...maybe someone can specify the exact sequence of transfers that take place when a client connects to my server...


well another interesting thing that cropped up was that..i sent a ping after the gnutella ok part...bearshare reported that as a bad packet....however...if i sent a pong it didn't show up at all !

however both these packets are reported as good packets...if a write ...to the bearshare server....using...a client thread in my code......hell this is confusing stuff....GIMME A FREAKING BREAK !!!
