Gnutella network disconnect

[Ross]

As a puter user, rather than a tech, I enjoyed the first week of using Limewire, searchng, downloading, burning and the lot.
Today, when I opened Limewire, I found the page heading to read LimeWire:Running the Gnutellen Network (Disconnected/No Files Available.)
Can anyone tell me, since I am connected to my ISP as normal, why or what is the disconnection status, and how or what do I re-connect.
Many thanks from this newbie. =ROSS=

If the network is stressed or you cant find a
good node you can connect to, you are disconnected
and so cant download.

To avoid this problem try to add some more hostcaches
and router:
Go to options and add some hosts:
connect1.bearshare.com
and so on...
If you search the forum I am sure you will find some more
hosts to quickconnect.

There is a list of some hostcaches listed here

I am also having problems with the heading of Disconnected/ no files available. I have added the cache and routers to the system and this still does not help. Is there something I am doing wrong or anything else I can do?

You can try my gnutella.net file.

ftp://whitedragon.dyndns.org/gnutella.net

Download it and copy it into your limewire directory (C:\program files\LimeWire). That should enable you to connect if the pong caches (router.limewire.com etc.) don't get you connected.

If even this file doesn't help you, - it's a problem with your own network configuration and I can't help you.
