Unfortunately the this forum does not support the version of BearShare you are using because it does not use the Gnutella network. It instead connects to a semi-commercial iMesh network, the name I cannot remember. You would be best to ask your question on the other BearShare forums/support channels. Your BearShare version is really an iMesh client underneath with a different face to it.

This forum supports the last versions of BearShare before the program was sold. ie: BearShare 5 for example, which runs on the open and free Gnutella network. More about that here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...sabotaged.html
