Julie, I really do appreciate it, but i already tried that, and still nothing?!?!

well, i just wanted to add this, amybe it will help: i got so frustrated i tried to dl macstar, another client, and mactella. neither worked, but macstar actually gave me this (other than just "not connected"):
"TCP/IP Error: An error occured making a connection to the query server. Please make sure you have an active connection to the internet and try again."
I have an active connection (obviously)....argh!

You've tried entering it directly in the Connections tab? Did you first click on remove to get rid of the one trying to connect? And then enter router4? If that won't connect, try some of the others in the list of the link I supplied. I think the connect4.gnutellanet.com is a good one, too.

I'm sorry if it didn't help. Hopefully you'll get it worked out.

type in these # 208.239.76.100

Same problem here - no connection! Will try suggested fixes. I'll let you know.

this is like torture! i tried 208.239.76.100, and it works for a second, i get connected to a few more servers, then they just trickle away, and im oncea again disconnected...i never get more than 0 bytes/0 files available....so i guess this means its really not a connection problem? but rather a server im trying to get to? and julie, yeah, i tried all that?? any ideas?? anyone??
heeeelllllllppppppp

If you can not connect type these#'s in if it soesnt work try several more times w same # typed in connections window press add.-Worked for me.-d
208.239.76.100

i tried that server, thats the one that connects me for a few seconds and then drops em all....its toying with me!!

I have been trying to connect for a whole week now still no connection.
I tried OS 9, all versions of OS X including Jaguar I also tried connecting with USB ADSL Modem and TouchSpeed 510 router and still no luck.
Please somebody help me before I go mad.
