Thanks for your response, Mark.

I noticed that it took a long time to add my files (587 of them) when I first installed. But, all that "hashing" should be finished by now. But still no file listing in my library - just folders with no individual files in them.

As for connections, I have several up in 2.5.5 (6 right now - all ultrapeer) with lots of "messages" and 0% dropped. It's set for 6 connections and that's what I have. Does it need more?

I'll admit I am something of a Gnutella dummy, but I've always managed to make this thing work before. Thank goodness I still have 2.4.4 on my computer - I've reverted back to that for now. Do port numbers have any relevance? I've always let the program set the default for me...just grasping here...

I typed in "Elvis" and got nothing. Something is definitely amiss :-)
