Then add some of these host. public.bearshare.net connect1.bearshare.net connect2.bearshare.net connect3.bearshare.net connect1.gnutellanet.come:6346 connect2.gnutellanet.come:6346 connect3.gnutellanet.come:6346 Also keep your Max host number on the Host tab around 5. IF YOU ALLREADY DID THIS : Here is the information to understand about connecting to the gnutella network with bearshare: When you launch the program it tries to connect to hosts. Go to the hosts tab to observe this. Make sure that Automatic is checked. Which hosts will it try to connect to automatically? The ones that you have put into the Automatic Connections in Setup -> Services. This should at least have public.bearshare.net. So go to Setup -> Services and check. Ok, so let's assume that you have public.bearshare.net in automatic connections, and you see that it is trying to connect to this host. Still not connecting? Let's check your internet connectivity using another web site. Go to a DOS prompt. Type "ping www.cisco.com" and see what happens. If it say "timed out" then the ping is failing, which means internet connectivity problems or a firewall is blocking your access to the internet. If it say "unknown host" then you have problems with DNS (or internet connectivity). Check your dns settings. If the ping is successful, then try to ping public.bearshare.net. The same logic will apply. If the ping is successful, but you still can't connect then find out if a firewall is blocking TCP port 6346. A firewall could be running on your PC itself, or on a corporate network which is providing you access to the internet. The firewall must permit TCP port 6346. Becker |
