Nice Program but crashes on Win2K
 

Gnucleus 1.4.5 often has a hard time staying open on both my win @000 Server and Win 2000 Professional machines (same machine, different HDDs and OSs).

Sometimes it stays up but more often it disappears within a minute or two after loading (usually when I look away for a moment). Anybody else have these problems with Win 2K

I've had the same problem. And even when it stays up it sometime reboots the machine without notice. I've had these errors with both Gnucleous and Bearshare on 3 different boxes. Any body got any idea's?

i use 2k server and _never_ experienced any problems with gnucleus (using v 1.4.1+)

Gnucleus Test Release 3 seems to fix all Win2k problems, download it at http://www.gnucleus.net

On the one hand I'm very happy to see that you're investigating in the Win2k-crash problem - on the other hand I've got sad news for you (or at least for other Win2k users):

The test release #3 doesn't fix the crash problem, in my case it even made it worse. I'm running one 2xPII 350 and one 2xPIII 700, both on Win2kSP2, both SMP systems and both crash during the first 10 seconds.

Oh, and both are behind a firewall. Number one at work behind a "everything-except-port-3128-is-blocked" firewall (useless for Gnutella but I installed it just to confirm the instability of Gnucleus.exe), and system #2 at home behind a NAT server which usually has no problems with all possible P2P/Gnutella/WinMX...
Maybe this is of interest for you.

Thanks for your efforts and let's hope Gnucleus will reign on Win2k systems soon, too :)

I'm using Gnucleus from computer pools on university,
it works fine form NT4 but gets no connection with Win2000.

Test release 3 also does not work.
