I downloaded Mactella, it worked really great for a while, now if I click auto-connect I wait and wait but nothing happens, If I enter gnutella.hostscache.com it says it's connected but if I run searches nothing ever comes up, and it dosen't look like it ever connects to any host other than this one. By the way, how do you pronounce gnutella?

me again, thought that I would add that when I enter gnutella.hostcache.com it sayss it's connected to this and to 127.0.0.1 but it dosen't look like it ever connects to any others, other hosts scroll through the network window, but it never connects to these, and as I mentioned before, my searches never get any results. If I just click autoconnect, it looks as if it's trying to connect, lots of IPs scroll through my network window, but it never connects, no matter how long I wait. I don't know if it's important or not but I'm connected to the internet via my universitie's ethernet, they have some sort of ban on filesharing, I think it has something to do with a firewall, I didn't think that it was important since Mactella worked just fine to begin with, but I figure it would be best to mention it. Mactella worked great for about two days before this started.

FYI 127.0.0.1 is your computer (default IP, always), some one who thought it was funny could of made this there external IP for people to recieve so that they can't connect.

I have the same problem. it says it's connected but when i run searches nothing happens.. is there any solution?

make sure it's talking to the network first by clicking the gnutlla tab.
