Tests show that you can connect to the Gnutella
network, and possibly accept incoming connections.
If you are at a school or office, you should
make sure you are receiving incoming connections.

If you have a software or hardware firewall,
you should make sure your port rules or port
forwarding setup is correct in the firewall
and in your Gnutella application.

Judging by what that program said, it looks like you can connect to Gnutella, but your probably doing something wrong. What exactly is the problem and what client do you use?

When your Gnutella clients starts, you have to wait for it to make some connections, once it gets atleast 1 (i recommend waiting for at least 4), you can use the program to search and download. If your client has problems making connections, try entering host addresses by hand. To get addresses, go to a gnutella server tracker, or host cache service. There are links to some on this bbs.

That looks likea cool program, where can I get it?

well i have been using gnotella the most, and limewire and then bearshare.


all of them used to work. now none of them will connect. with limewire it will quit trying. with gnotella and bearshare, they will keep trying without any success.


i was thinking maybe one of the files required is missing or corrupted... not sure tho.

what will make the clients fail but allow gnetwiz to test the connection with positve results?

hey folks.

i was gonna look at exactly what my clients did when they failed to connect.

and this morning i ran gnetwiz to check out if my connections worked.

and when i started the gnotella this afternoon. it magically started to connect to servers almost immediately.


I have no idea what happened.... i haven't done anything. except run gnetwiz...


dude. that's just freaky.
