hey I've downloaded the SimplePongCache server from limewire.com and it mentions a readme.txt file. It only has 2 files, PongCache.jar and limewire.props. For some reason its not working either.

Could you please post the exact URL?

sorry about the subject, i apparently had a brain fart at the time.
the link is on limewire.com, menu..... get involved > add a pong server.


http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/pongserver

I used this command in a Dos Prompt:

C:\WINDOWS\javaw.exe -jar PongCache.jar 6349 -l -p

I've also attached a zipped batch file for Windows that will launch this for you, as well as give you instructions. Unzip the file and place it in the directory that you have your Simple Pong Cache files in. It will lauch the pong cache program and give some instructions for closing it.

Did either of these work?

no it doesnt help, for one thing I dont run Windows (i'm running FreeBSD) and I've already tried those commands, it just gives me java errors. I run (Linux) LimeWire fine.

javavm -cp . RunLime


I got Clip's Reflector (gnutellahost.com) to run but the Config window shows up too small in which I'm not able to resize it.

Did you try this?

./startup.sh

I believe this is a shell script, but I'm not sure. I would try this on my linux box myself, but I am fixing that computer right now.

as I've posted above the tarball file limewire.com only came with

PongCache.jar and limewire.props

I used QuarterDeck Zipit, and it says there are more files than that. Specifically, the compressed file contains:

PongCache.jar
LimeWire.props
gnutella.net
startup.sh
readme.txt
Simple Pong Cache-directory-

So, if you only got 2 files, I find that slightly odd. Don't you?

I am guessing you are using a file browser rather than a terminal using the ls command. Check and see if the file types are hidden by your file browser. I know Konqueror hides files by default (on Mandrake 8.0).

I use ark the kde archiver (it only shows 2 files)....just package your files into another file and post it here for me to download.

nevermind...i extracted the files with winzip :P.....wierd huh?
