 IN to BS
As I said before. I have XoloX on 6346 (default), and BearShare on 6347 (getting dyslexic and typing 6437 as the port can screw you up, so maybe it would be better to use 6666 or something :P)
Anyway... I never see it trying to connect if I use an IP in the preference box in XoloX, but if I use a hostmask, eg. localhost, computer name, or resolved internet IP, it connects. Make sure you have the advanced options on and "Accept incoming connections" checked, and have a max connections high enough to do the tests. (say, 6)
In this picture I used... localhost then COMPUTER (compuer's name) in XoloX's connect box then my IP, and 127.0.0.1 in BearShare's connect box. Since I was doing the tests on the Compaq, while connected ot the internet, all the connections timed out after about a minute... but it still serves to show you CAN make use of the connect box as long as you use a domain name or alias intead of an IP.
