I am running gentoo with qtella 0.5.3 and I can't connec to a server. It worked for a day and I could get some files and now I can't connec to anything. I removed the program, deleted my .qtella directory and reinstalled and it does the same thing. Any ideas?

It does the same with my Red Hat. I don't know why.
Ciao,c

i am using suse linux and qtella 0.4.2 and i also can not connect to the network........:-)
please help

I cannot connect using 0.5.3. I have been able to in the past though and have changed nothing.

Does anyone have ANY idea what is causing this problem? It seems to be that other Gnutella clients are having the same problem. I have also noticed that if I use someone else's hostlist, I get connections and can search but NOTHING downloads... NOTHING. Also seems like the majority of responses are from Morpheus 2.0.x client from which I can not download anything? Is Morpheus' client preventing other clients from downloading???

Make sure you're allowing 6346 TCP in the firewall, inbound and outbound.

It may be a problem with the german telekom. I tried gtk-gnutella to
endeavour to ascertain the reasons. The results seems to be the same - both applications may not connect the the gnutella network. The machine is connected directly to the internet. I use neither firewall nor proxy.

I had the same problem.
Oddly enough Xolox on windows worked.
So I used my router to block port 6346.
This listed all the IP addresses Xolox was using.
I put all these addresses into the qtella config file ~/.qtella/qtella.
I was able to connect.
I guess the default host caches (i might have the wrong term) are down, busy or blocked.
I saw on another group (limewire) to add 208.239.76.100 to the list. It did not say what port.

I didn't try this (not broke, don't fix) but it is probably easier than what i did.

Could you post some of those IPs here please?

I'm running Gentoo 1.2., and the problems started around 3 September. I've been rooting through various system directories trying to remember what I updated around that time, because I suspect that it's not a problem with the servers: how likely is it that all of them go down at the same time? What kind of changes to your system did you make around the time when you stopped being able to connect to gnutella?
