Having connection problems using gnut on linux The gnut homepage is dead off gnutelliums and mrob and I have not been able to fix my problem using the supplied documentation. The computer is behind a router but I have a port forwarded to its ip address and open gnut using gnut -p [forwardedPort] -i eth0 I can ping internet sites on the computer and I have .gnut_hosts file but I can seem to connect to other gnutella computers and thus can't update my hosts lists using the update command. I can share and scan my files but I can't share my files if I can't connect to the Gnutella network. When I try to access the gnut help menu with the help command, the output doesn't fit on the screen and using |more doesn't work. What can I do to see the whole help menu/fix my connection problems? Thanks in advance el bob |
hi, I also installed gnut on my webserver an old 80486 running linux mandrake 7 as entry point for our open source project. Perhaps one reason for your connection problems is that you forwarded the wrong port: gnut uses 5634 and not 6346 like the other gnutella clients. Try also the following: install nmap (a good command line port scan) and from another linux outside your local network try the following command: nmap -p 5634 yourhost.yourdomain.com if nmap says [filtered] and not [open], you have to check again the router, if perhaps the port is firewalled. On our router (a Zyxel Prestige) the port was marked open, but in another place of the configuration options it was firewalled. if I type in nmap -p localhost I get the following on my computer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Port State Service Unable to find nmap-services! Resorting to /etc/services 5634/tcp open unknown Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 3 seconds ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps is this the reason bye dangermouse if you are interested visit the server running gnut at http://algol.homeip.net/ and our open source project (another gnutella client for windows) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpu |
perhaps is also a route problem. what do you receive if you type the command "route" in your linux box? here my route list [root@algol /etc]# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 if one of these is missing you should add it (e.g. using "linuxconf" or the "route add" command) |
thanks for the info i shoudl be able to get to the linux box tomorrow and will post again with results |
