I think it is more or less lost cause to make BearShare Lite 5.2.5.1 to connect...You see BearShare Lite 5.2.5.1 was not a Free Peers release, but the RIA friendly company MusicLab LLC...The same goes for every version off BearShare above 5.2.x.x is no good to use...The only BearShare version 5 i like is the beta hosted here on the forum...But i use BearShare 4.7.0 and have no connection probs at all, because it is a Free Peers Release and work great for me so fare...The reason i don't use BearShare beta from this forum is the BearShare start utility is not working for my pc, so i have to manually sett back the time for it to start-i guess im lacy...So i find the version 4.7.0 and used it since...
