Hi there!

We have the same problem, too. Since one week, we cannot connect to gnutella anymore.
Our ISP apparently blocks the gnutella standard port 6346. I tried to use cache hosts with other ports, but couldn't get any connection with limewire. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Clip2, who supplied the addresses to Gnutella clients so they can connect to the Gnutella "network" is out of business. That is probably the cause of many of the problems listed above. I remember having to manually type in an IP address of a client already connected back in the day - this would be a workaround - but I can't find a list of addresses anywhere. The Hosts/Servers list on GnutellaNews doesn't seem to work either.

Hmmm, neither gutellahosts.com nor router.limewire.com seem to be working.

Now -- where do people get their host-lists from? Will I have to ask people who are already connected via irc for IPs anytime I want to connect?

Isn't there anybody out there running a similiar service like Gnutellshosts?

I just hope this won't be a catastrophy to the Gnutella-network.

I've been using gnutella.hostscache.com as an entry-point for the last few days without any trouble. I hope it's more permanent than clip2 (and stays cross-client).

Check out www.gnufrog.com
They keep a list of active gnutella connections; you can get connected to one of those, and then the entire network will be at your fingertips!

get bearshare 2.2.7

bearshare has its own hostcache now

If you're using older clients, you need to upgrade!!!! CLIP2 is no longer providing host caches, so clients like Bearshare 2.2.4 can't connect using the default servers. Time to upgrade.

FROM CLIP2:

We have discontinued our Gnutella, OpenNap, and JXTA network tracking services. Our Gnutella host cache (gnutellahosts.com:6346) and JXTA rendezvous (jxta.clip2.com:6001 & 6002) services have been discontinued as well. The Clip2 Reflector, a proxy-and-index server for Gnutella, is no longer available for download or supported, and we have discontinued our listing service for public-access Reflectors.
