I have the same problem. I am currently living in residence at univeristy and someone told me that the problem was that the university server had disallowed this kinda thing. However, everyone else is running Kazaa on their PCs fine, but I have a Mac OS 9.2.2 and I can't connect with any gnutella program. If anyone has a solution I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

I am also unable to connect to any servers.
It has always worked fine for me, but today it crashed just after I hit the "clear" button.
I am also unable to access: http://www.zero-g.net/gwebcache/report.html
or
zero-g.net for that matter.

Anyone have a list of recent servers or another cache of IPs for me to plug in?
Thanks.

I guess it is downed and being mirrored here:
http://www.gnucleus.net/gwebcache/

It looks like NapShare is no longer maintained. There has not been any revision for a LOOOONG time.

Pity, but I think it was a fork from some other program anyway. I always thought forking was a BAD idea...

NapShare is still supported, you can help by writing code and submitting patches. It's a spare time - free thing.

NapShare now uses the GWebCache system to find new hosts to connect to. Startup problems are a thing of the past.

The new version is available at the site, if you are within a few days of this post you should pick up the current CVS version by anon CVS.

Enjoy!

However...the problem referred to repeatedly above has still not been solved, and obviously they're more worried about advertising than fixing.
I, too, have switched to gtk-gnutella, and had much better success

Try V1.2 and set a high number for the port

just loaded napshare up, and looks sweet as. no problems installing or anything...

but i'm getting exactly the same connection problems. i raised both the TTL numbers, but that doesn't change anything.

so i downloaded GTK-Gnutella, and poof, straight away, without any config even, it worked...

i'm not bitching, as i love the idea of napshare, and would love to see it working properly. is there any way you could borrow some code from any of the other opensource Gnutella clones???

Sorry for my naive question, but why continue to use/develop NapShare?

The code base is already obsolete, and gtk-gnutella is far ahead:

* It has flow control
* It has powerful filter chains.
* It has swarming.
* It has SHA1 checking.
* It has download mesh support
* It has leaf/Ultrapeer support (CVS only)
* It has a GTK2 front-end (nice) or a GTK1 classic front-end.

Remember: NapShare is a clone of gtk-gnutella at version 0.13!

I used to like NapShare myself, but since I tried gtk-gnutella, I will no longer move back to NapShare, which looks like a "toy" in comparison (no offense).
