I found one thing that works for me, and no need to delete the .ini file (and thereby lose a few settings). This worked for me, no guarantees, YMMV, yadda blah blah etc..

Open up preferences, click on "Connect". Make sure "When in Ultrapeer mode" are both checked and have a valid number for them (any number), and "Apply" - should have immediate results. Doesn't matter if you have "Able to become Ultrapeer" checked in "Network" or not. (I leave it as not, since there seem to be more ultrapeers than anything else, and they suck as connections too)

That didn't work for me!

All it did is make it so i can't connect!

I'm running the latest build of Gnucleus. I removed the ini file and all, but it still won't connect at all. My friend is having the same problem. What's the deal?

Have a valid number ,any number.That's pretty vague!

could some one make this simple for me how do i find the ini file OK I'm computer alliterate well almost I'm running XP home and having the same problem with lw it just don't connect

if some one would just walk me through it i would be thankfull

thanks

Mate,when I looked in the folder I couldn't see an .ini file either.The only way I seem to have any success reinstalling, is to install it b4 any updates.It still takes awhile b4 the extra files d'load though.I'm certain the same finks that fill the searches with duds are feeding mongrel files into the update as well.

that was going to be my next and last thing to try i am going to wright my hard drive to all zero's then reinstall every thing but put it in before updates it worked right up till i cleared my system about 3weeks ago


im just tired of messing with it if i cant get it to work heck with it im done this time it will eather work or it will go to the trash forever

I had the same problem as eveyone else here. I did a little research on port forwarding and found the site PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall
It will help you configure your router to allow the Gnutella network
This is the page I went to once I clicked on Gnutella.
PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall
It has a listing of different router names. Just find yours and go through the directions. Hope this fixes yours like it did mine.

Gnucleus relies on http://www.gnucleus.net/ since that's where it EVOLVES from... (see Help menu).

(Isn't Evolve the same as auto-update??!?)

Anyway, http://www.gnucleus.net/ is dead. Someone needs to either program Gnucleus to look elsewhere, or someone buy the domain and get our webcache files up there.
