Just start xolox before you access internet...I am using it now.
Works fine.

Yes. I was having trouble using the other workarounds described. I don't use firewall/proxy server, so couldn't block that way.

I tried modifying the host file in Windows several different ways described, but finally got it to work by last suggestion! Simple. Start the program before I plug in my cable connection and works great.

I'm still a little confused as to why modifying my host file didn't work, but this will suffice in the meantime.

You were talking about modifying the windows host file, not xolox host list, right?

right

Yep, I tried it too and it also works. Thanks a lot for the solution. Long live Xolox!!!

does anyone know where i can download xolox i uninstalled it and now i don't know where to get it.


please helo me, i miss my xolox

turning off autoupdate seem not working just in a day.

I got the 113 fixed version, works fine but I still have to start the program before I connect or I see a yahoo screen briefly about some page not found (probably that expired notification thingy)and then it the program hangs so bad nothing will move around on my screen and my computer starts to go into heaving spasms after which it promptly chokes to death. Luckily it can rise from the dead, though with some lost clusters. Maybe this is a lack of memory prob, I am going to go pick up a 256 mb card tommorow and slap it in and see what happens.

Here is a 3rd solution for computer experts:

3. Patch your old XOLOX.exe and create your own splashscreen. Take a HEX-editor and replace 'www.xolox.nl/info' with your homepage. Read every detail here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...=&postid=18481

PS: When you have no XOLOX, use any gnutella client and serach for xolox

i've got the new "fixed" version to and it works fine on my comp (win 2K)i've had that screen once or twice but its never crashed and normally turns grey pretty quickly. so in other words its not the program

Hi, been reading the posts on how to keep xolox working. Can someone tell, in plain simple terms, a grey haired old wrinkly how
I block http requests to www.xolox.nl/info/ in Zonealarm.

At the moment I have xolox with Local & Internet and Allow server rights.

Confess I'm not sure that I fully understand what I'm reading on how to keep xolox working so any help would be much appreciated.
