Hi, for some new users it might be too difficult to download a fresh hostslist, so lets try this:

Start Xolox and go into Menu -> Tools -> Preferences
Then enter 'Gnutellahost': public.bearshare.net
'port' goes into next input box: 6436

Click "Add ", you'll see a message "New host added", close the preferences and wait a minute. Does it help? You can do this whenever you have a connect error.

PS: here are more hosts caches. Enter name and port as above, do not enter the ':' (it's only a seperator):

connect1.gnutellanet.com:6346
connect2.gnutellanet.com:6346
connect3.gnutellanet.com:6346
connect4.gnutellanet.com:6346
gnutella.hostscache.com:6346
gnotella.fileflash.com:6346
router.limewire.com:6346
gnutella.hostscache.com:6346
gnet2.ath.cx:6346
