Hey KathW,

> When you say 'output' what do you need to know?

Good question. Just give me everything your tool tells?
For example if you use 'netstat -na' the whole output might be interesting for investigation.

So long... Moak

The ip address 127.0.0.1 is called a loopback. Its for mainly diagnostic purposes. Say if you ping 127.0.0.1, you're initially pinging yourself. You would do this to test if your NIC was working or not if you had some type of connection problem.


As far as port 6364 goes. That is pretty much the standard/popular port used. The reason its that port, I have no idea. But you can specifiy the port you wanna use for people to connect to you, say if that port was already being used by something else. The port 80 thing....I think you got that confused with the type of requests gnutella clients give out. As in they are pretty much http requests for files and etc.

back in the begin when Al Gore invented the internet.... HAHAHA YEAH RIGHT!!! good ole ARPAnet later know DARPAnet was the internet

the old Unix guys in colleges never thought the internet would catch on. so they devoted and entire Class A network, the 127 net, to pinging back on your network adapter which means they gave up 16,777,214 IP addresses just to make sure the Adapter works...

hope that shed some light on the dismal

Hi KathW,
how about a screenshot, so we can take a look on what you see.
You can make a screenshot with a grafic program of your choice (e.g. Irfanview, freeware at http://www.irfanview.com) and then attach it to a new post ("Attach file").
