This is the kind of problem I was talking about when you create our own private network.
The problem is, if both servents have not connected to the public Gnutella network, they still assume they are firewalled. If both servents are firewalled they will determine that they can't download from each other... so they want display search results.

In the class Servent.isFirewalled() try to return false as a fixed value. I'm not sure if this is already all that is needed. Somewhere there should a forum thread or a wiki page I think that explains all steps..

Thanks for the hint! It works now.

Maybe there should be a more sophisticated way to determine whether a servent can download from another servent. I.e., if two servents are on the same local network, this should be possible even if they are behind a firewall.

The next problem I have is that both servents also get connected to external servents, even though I have used my own hosts file.
Can it be that external servents have my servents in their caches and try to connect to my servents when they are online? This would mean that my servents to do not try to connect to external servents but external servents find them anyway.
