Gnucleus wont connect
 

Bit of strange one this....

My machine crashed (XP Pro), due to some dev work I'm doing - bug found/fixed - but Gnucleuse wont Connect now... All downloads I had going are working fine, but Gnucleus just refuses to connect. The Connect window sits there saying 'Connecting....' but the progress-bar doesnt show any pretty green lights and refuses to connect. Is there a file I need to delete to somat??

Thanks All (Just lazy in not downloading/reading thru source:-)) )

Ooops, important info:- 1.8.4 (Running on XP Pro - NT5.1). It really has me stumped....

OK Fixed. Delete all contents of Cache files, & .ini then restart. All works fine then. Authors; could you fix this - test it's disaster recovery (ie. PC gets turned off without a proper shutdown).

PS. Gnucleus is ACE! Even with that fault....

I feel bad that nobody seems to be helping you here, M. Try going to the forums at http://www.gnucleus.net/ and you'll definitely get a lot more responses.

Here's the direct URL for the forum:

Hi, M.....
Sorry I missed your post with bad timing.....
A question for you........ did you try the 'fix' first with deleting .ini only? Or, did you do the both at the same time or the other choice with cache files first?
tia

Got the fix.
 

I renamed GnuConfig.ini to GnuConfig.ini.txt and suddenly I could connect again. Also, it recreated the file after I changed a couple settings, so don't worry about that.

Clearly there's a problem with GnuConfig.ini getting corrupted. Still, Gnucleus rocks!

Developer dudes, you listening?

config probs
 

My Gnuc just went **** up and wouldn't connect, I followed your info and sure enough I can connect again. I think it's a config problem cos everything was fine until I started to tweek it. I think if you just delete the config file it will solve the problem, Gnuc just defaults to the original setting and creates a new config. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

General Gnucleus Fault..?
 

Hello all.
I'm having the same connection problems (using 56k / ver 1.8.4 / Windows XP Pro) and they have NOT been fixed by renaming / deleting cache and ini files! I still have no connection and watch the cache list tick down slowly to 0% and essentially bail out.
I have also reinstalled, and reinstalled on a clean system. No luck so far.
Even better, I can't even raise the gnucleus.com homepage half the time and the forum @ http://216.74.73.125/~c0re/gnuforum/ doesn't load either. Is gnucleus totally falling off the face of the planet?
Any general or technical discussion would be VERY welcome!
Regards, Mat

OOOHH, thanks
 

Hey,
Thanks, that worked for me too.

Yeah,

Connect
 

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!

Not connecting
 

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. :PEACE:

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

As I said SP1 is ok,install chipset drivers as well.My graphic drivers require .net which I dont trust either, until I have Gnucleus working first.Even with broadband u will still have to wait a little while for the symbol to go green.This is the third time I have been unable to connect after removing Gnucleus & trying to reinstall w/out reformatting.:yikes:
Preferably,minimum drivers is best,chipset,modem,Gnucleus & obviously after update, no music searches until the rest is in place.

ok i reformated my harddrive started at 11.am and finished at 10.pm i did my windows install and drivers loaded limewire off a disk installed modem and still the same problem im done with lime wire so after it still was not working i finished loading all my software and drivers scaners fax printers cardreaders and gave it one more try still no go so i did my norton and windows updates installed my firewalls removed limewire and tossed the disk in the trash its a done deal i spent more time on trying to get it to run than what its worth i have another program ill use till i find something else i like

thanks to you all for trying to help out with this

You didn't read my post properly!Bare minimum was what i was stressing.
Windows>chipset drivers>modem drivers>configure internet conn>latest Gnucleus & then wait for a reasonable time after connecting for someone else who has the right updates.After that little firecracker thing goes green,Bob's u'r uncle!
You don't need all your other progs to connect,even antivirus.Begin a test on a song & after it starts to d'load,stop it & THEN complete PAIN IN THE BUTT REINSTALL! :yahoo:

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.

:bangh:This cannot be a simple address problem anymore.I checked the site & everything checked out there.In the past,with the exact same h'ware config & s'ware,it was up & running in minutes.Something blatantly stinks!
We already know that they have been flooding the searches with dummy files but now I think they have set up servers with files that are designed to be uploaded in the initial upgrade search.Some of the more clued up lads involved in programming could probably verify either way.

Surely someone has an idea as to what could be causing this.As I have posted previously,have same configuration,same way of installing.Gnucleus was always up & running within minutes.Installed it b4 anything else,so I am certain no other program is interfering.Are there people out there that are installing it with no problems currently/
like to know how!:mad2: HELP!

I use Gnucleus 2.2.0.0, but every time I try to search for files, it won't connect. Gnucleus indicates that all known peers are down. Any idea why this is?

By the lack of replies,you & I are not the only ones unable to connect new connections.seems that everyone who has re installed are also unable to connect!

You guys need a fresh set of nodes from someone who has recently connected to the network using gnucleus.

Than you will connect.

Hello y'all
 

It's my pleasure to join the community. Thanks for accepting me as a community member.

I just upgraded to Leopard 10.5, having firewall connection problem. Can any body guide me to the right pat.

Best of Regards,

Hi, I new hear too, nice to be a member. I have read all the posts for connecting problems but found no help, much talk about ini files and preferences but no description as to were to find them, we don't all know were everything is, we join these forums for help,not to be reassured that we don't know much ,just plain help would be nice. I have a wireless modem and can connect to limewire using version 4.10 pro to my laptop but cannot connect to my desktop using same version ,although wired to desktop. No security programs blocking limewire,I checked my router configuration and it is set to allow conecction, I am at a loss right now ,any help would be great, thanks

Definitely LOST! This is the Gnucleus program section not the LW section. I don't see LimeWire written here: Gnutella Forums > Current Gnutella Client Forums > GnucDNA Based Clients > Gnucleus (Windows) - Gnucleus wont connect. Please post in the appropriate LW forum section, not another gnutella program section. :)

Gnucleus (Windows) does NOT = LimeWire (Different programs)

Which one of you guys is or was a Gnucleus programmer?

Neither. AFAIK, Gnucleus stopped development a couple of years ago. ;)

Stopped develpoment... as in the developers couldn't be bothered anymore...

I guess ANYONE could be a developer... just fix some bugs and submit to the sourceforge and create a tag release and wollaa everybody's happy.

Gnucleus was very light weight.. that's all... and GnucDNA seems very popular now.. with all those DIYP2P, etc... so it's kinda respect to pay some to Gnucleus which started it all....

I think it would be great if Gnucleus was worked on again. I did try using it a couple years back. It probably needs updating to happily comply with the changes in the Gnutella network protocol as well. :) swabby (forum name) was the main programmer AFIAK.

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.

But this worked for you? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gnucle...-gnucleus.html :)

I'll see if I can contact the support programmer/mod. He has not been to the forums for a couple years.

in versions 1.x.x.x the ini & cache files are stored in same folder as Gnucleus.exe.

In versions 2.x.x.x the ini & cache files are stored in a sub-folder called Data.

Thanks, that worked for me too.
