Hi guys,

im using 5.2.5 aswell however it won't connect for me. I unzipped the files and put them in the 'db' folder. Has anyone any other ideas as to what might be stopping it from connecting?

Thanks.

Did you make an exception for Bearshare TCP & UDP ports in your firewall rules?

Working perfect now, thanks!

Hi,

I have Vista basic and 5.2.5 and it wont connect. I also tried aaron's 5.1.0 beta. Both versions with files for db folder - no result.
5.2.5. erased these files again!!

I even switched off my firewall and enabled compatibility for XP SP2.

I get minimal traffic (30kbps) but no connection.


Can you please help me?

Try forcing the Beta into Ultrapeer mode; see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/host-c...nutella-5.html Oh & try using that connection cache I posted .. get to that page via the 2nd link in that top post.

Newbie here....

I just wanted to let you guys know that your dedication and hand holding through each process was and is AMAZING.... even a newb like myself got it to work!

thanks

bearshare not connecting

Have you tried this technique: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/host-c...bearshare.html You will need fresh connection cache as suggested in that link.

same problem here and ima noob aswell sry guys. i have umm bearshare 5.2.5. been using it for years. also all of a sudden stopped connecting to the network. i tried the old beta that aaronwalkhouse recommends and it worked fine but i really wish to fix my 5.2.5 version. i believe the problem is that when i try to unzip the fresh nodes i get this message.

im using windows vista.

!\Desktop\connect.zip: Cannot create connect(1).txt
! Access is denied.
!\Desktop\connect.zip: Cannot create gwebcache(1).dat
! Access is denied.
!\Desktop\connect.zip: Cannot create What you do with this stuff..txt
! Access is denied.

Is that from the zip file in my link or from AaronWalkhouse's?

Have you tried putting the zip file in your user account documents folder & unzipping from there?
Which unzip program are you using?
