Can't please everyone *shrug* . It's still a work in progress. Try Gnucleus if you absolutely can't get xolox to work.

HELP - I CAN'T CONNECT!
 

I've been using XoloX since the version which came before 1.21, (tried the 1.21 also). Now I'm up to version 1.31 build 379, before 1.31 XoloX ran smoothly on my Windows ME, IE 6 (SP1), ZoneAlarmPro, Norton AV 2003. I connect to the internet through Verizon Online DSL (adsl)/WinPPPoverEthernet ver.2/build 20010104 & my Intel PRO/100 VE (PROSet II) Desktop Connection. Before installing 1.31/#379 I uninstalled all previous versions, deleted the XoloX registry key AND all progem files which had been left behind by previous versions, rebooted THEN installed. Here are the errors I've been receiving:
1.) On start-up, instead of saying "Connecting to the Gnutella Network" (or whatever it used to say...) on the bottom of the main XoloX window it says: "Can't connect to port #6346" which then turns into "Working offline". See here:

and here:

2.) About once or twice (hasn't happened in a while) an Internet Explorer Script Error window pops up with this weird error message, this is what it looks like: http://groups.msn.com/vze3dbwg/Documents/ads.bmp
3.) Finally, giving up - I exit from the program to get the following two error boxes (oddly, the first of these pops-up twice-go figure!). Check out #1 here:

and #2 here:

I also have iMesh (which works even with all the spyware, hijackware removed-thank you Ad-Aware!). And yes, I've given XoloX full server permission through the firewall, although I do use the ZoneAlarm Pro to disable web-bugs & block all the ads it can. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

ps: what's up with all the advertising guys? not cool man, totally NOT cool!

If you are running another program that is using that port (another Gnutella sevent for instance) then Xolox can not use it. Additionally if you have that port closed on you firewall and/or router then Xolox will not be able to use it either.
