Hi!

Using gnapster 1.4.1a, I'm unable to connect to any napster
server, either the "official" one, or any other.  I have the
same problem with every napster client I've tried under Linux.
The reason seems to be "No route to host."  Typically, the
client connects to the redirect server, but when a "best" server
is found, my connection is summarily refused.

I run Debian potato on a vanilla standalone box.  I connect
to the net through a dialup ISP using a 56K modem.  I'm not
behind any kind of firewall, and don't have any problems with
any other kind of TCP/IP protocol.

Can someone please tell me what I need to do to connect to
napster?  Some sort of entry in /etc/gateways?  Something else?
I'm really at a loss here.

I'm not implying anything. But don't log on as a new user. I use
Knapster from the KDE desktop.

OK, I'll give it a shot.  Not hopeful, though.

I use gnapster happily with server 64.124.41.219, port 8888

This is not an open-nap server.

Anyway, soon we'll be using gnutella :)

I tried the suggested server.  No go.  Same problem as before.

Have I missed something?  Is there a configuration file I ought
to have made an entry in?  /etc/gateways, or something like
that?

Try Knapster.   The latest version includes a Napigator option for you
to manually view and select to which server you connect.

I sent a bug report Friday Nov. 10 - for the very same reason, and
tonight i've been downloading like a sonova*... I don't know whether
it's gnapster or a conn problem or both. Perhaps the bug report i sent
made a difference :^]
Anyway, you should connect now. I made no config alterations whatsover -
Sat/Sun seems fine. Mad props to the Open Source developers who allow me
to download drum n' bass till i'm blue in the face!
