Greetings ajnichols810,

Welcome to the Gnutella forums!

A client is a program that does something for you. LW is a client that connects you to other users who are also logged onto the Gnutella network, and thus enables you to share files. On your single home computer you have no server (and don't need one).

Are you sharing files? If so, what client (program) do you use? If you are looking for a client, we can suggest a few freebies.

Like most things involving computers, this all looks more complicated than it is.
