Same search in 3 clients ==> different responses.

#1 (**permalink**) March 24th, 2001

I am new to Gnutella.
I installed 3 clients: A)ToadNode, B)BearShare and C) Limewire.
Same configuration to allow upload ( I behind Windows Internet connection sharing). I punched a 6346 TCP hole in the ICS NAT directed to my PC.
I submitted the same search on the 3 clients. Only one client was working a single time.
The keyword was MapSource. I only get results with A)
After a couple of days of testing, only Limewire seems to allow update. I don't seems to be visible while running B or C. I have the same 360 MP/VQF sound files shared with each client.
Why such a difference? The protocol is not to be client specific ? No ?

Thanks in advance for your explanation , if you voice one.

Has to do with other clients you get connected to and your TTL .
Good Info sources:
