Here is my dilemma. I have downloaded bearshare, limewire, and gnotella to make sure it was not the client. When i try to enter the suggested hosts in this forum like gnutella.hostscache.com:6346 , They stay in my host list for about 5 or 10 seconds, then disapear to be replaced by a random ip entered by the program. I have a 56k modem and connect using aol (yuck) at the moment, but i don't really see why this happenes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
