I can search fine, when I try to d/l I get a file stream error in windows xp. Used to work fine till I moved from my d to c drive. I removed all of the old xolox files and reindtalled 1.12.

File stream error is discussed in another thread (see here).

Attachments not on, but heres my hostslist.

Worked for me, thanks!

The as stated in another thread, but probably more relevent here:

The reason XoloX's internal host connections aren't working, to the best of my knowledge, is that you are hard coding IPs to connect to:

IP = resolves to (alias) = bearshare's ability to conenct.
63.211.153.119 = galena.gnutelliums.com = timeout
64.61.25.139 = host3-limewire.colo.ny.np1.net (router.limewire.com) = timeout
208.239.76.100 = (unable to resolve) = refused
216.231.59.208 = vawlk.dsl.speakeasy.net = timeout
208.245.164.155 = boss.fileflash.com = refused
24.95.35.22 = (unable to resolve) = timeout

Only 2 of there are identifyable to me as common host cache sites, and none of them could be connected to when I tried.

It would be MUCH better to store the aliases like connect(1-4).bearshare.net, router.limewire.com, etc. in case the IPs suddenly need to change, so you don't have to alter your software to keep up with the changes.

Hi Seeker,
thx for your good investigation work. Damn, it gets boring to repeat it, but's true.
Good to know, what happens and how Xolox gets his initially IPs. So I think one of the most important feature in a new version could be: not to hardcode host caches, no IPs as you said and store them into a file e.g. 'hostchaches.txt'.

About your question: Setting registry entry 'firsttime' to 'true', does not help, actually it is equivalent with deleting the complete Xolox branch... both results in setup setting from scratch, no plausabilty checks are done for hostslist.txt.

Bye, Moak

PS: Aren't more programmers willing to offer the XOlox team assistance in coding and is the Xolox team interested?

I've been having trouble connecting to the network for about two weeks now. I've checked all my LAN settings through the University here, I don't know what's wrong.

Hi Moak & the Seeker,

The initialhost list will be enlarged in the next version.
We are still testing the ip-naming adres option. This is resulting in some problems (with DNS convert) when people use firewalls.

Thanks for the analyzing job !!

Pasman
The XoloX-Team

Hi Pasman,
I think the problem must be somewhere else. DNS is a basic item for internet, internet access without DNS is impossible... at least in a "norma enduser" environment. Even on standard firewalls DNS works, so when you have a working internet access (aka http), you can be sure the DNS is working too.


--- added 2001-10-01 ---
PS: While playing around with DNS today (stupid windows shares won't connect to //IP/share)... I thought about IP coded hostchaches in Xolox. Maybe you wanted to speed Xolox startup? If the cached hostslist doesn't provide enough speed for connection to gnutella network, store the resolved host cache IPs together with the hostnames in a 'hostcaches.txt'. Use the IPs for fast startup and update the IPs from the names whenever they changed. Just my 0.02 Euro.

Pasman

Been reading with interest the thread about hostslist.xt. As a new user I have put a posting on the support section (New User Queries...still waiting a response on that) but I think this thread may answer one of my queries.

Can you tell me what the hostlist.txt file actually does? I assume that if I had put an entry in the add host window this would have created a hostslist.txt file as I didn't have that file.

I've now installed one of the hostlist.txt file I found on the thread but I couldn't see any visible change when running xolox.

Be grateful for a quick explian if you can.

Thanks
