Like others, I'd help if I could, but need to know what kind of machine, OS version, and connection location and type you use. e.g., I connect via iMac G3 using OS 10.2.6 and the latest LW through a Linksys router to a high-speed cablemodem at home.

If you are connecting through a university, for example, you need to find out if anyone else can connect, or ask your network administrator if connections to the "gnutella network" on port 6346 are allowed.
