help me (and others) with connection problems

[whiteshimmer]

hi, for some reason i can never sustain a connection to the network, i am using gnucleus, i have disabled my firewall (i am using a shared internet connection) and i can now sustain connections, but the bandwidth stays at 0.00kbs, which is quite depressing, with an efficentcy of 100%. someone please help. I suspect this is because of my shared internet connection

cheers, whiteshimmer

Do you use AOL?

Does it actually connect to the network? If yes, I don't understand why there's no bandwidth usage. I think it should send your file list to the supernode (peer or whatever they're calling it nowadays) and help reroute queries too.

If no, I'm not sure how to fix that. Be patient I guess?

ISP blocking you?
ISP bandwidth limiting?
ISP sucks?
