giFT OpenFT connection problems.

FLOODS · 06-07-2004, 06:49 PM

Using Slackware 9.1 with giFT installed from source with many of the plugins up and running (FastTrack, Gnutella, and Soulseek.)

I've been trying to get OpenFT to connect recently since I've heard so much good about it, but it's giving me problems.

Here's a look at giftd -v, with no other plugins set to load with giFT.

Code:

and it usually just stops there. Tried looking online but with no luck. Not using IPTables since I'm behind a gateway with a firewall, and set the firewall rule on that machine to accept connections to and from computers using port 1757, which I got from OpenFT.conf.

Code:

# Core listening port.  OpenFT uses a compacted binary protocol for the core
# communication with other nodes.  If this machine is unable to provide both
# port and http_port to the outside directly (blocked by either by a firewall
# or a NAT setup) you should select 0 here.
#
# NOTE:
#  If you are unable to route this port (along with the HTTP port) you will be
#  unable to download from other users with that same inability.  You will,
#  however, maintain the ability to upload to other non-firewalled users.
#  Selecting non-zero when the port is not available to the outside will cause
#  very broken behaviour, namely search results will be extremely unreliable.
#
# Default: random (1215, 2215)
#
port = 1757

What's weird about that is it says the default port is random, but lists a port plainly. Does it mean that port is randomly made up with every config? That's kind of confusing.

The firewall looks good, connection to and from other computers allowed on local and remote port 1757, using both TCP or UDP.

Either way, what could be stopping OpenFT from connecting?

Have you tried setting the port to '0' (zero)?

Enjoy!

Yes, looked twice at it and thought about it.

I am behind a NAT, and a Firewall. This is a client machine on a hosted network. The gateway is WinXP Pro with the firewall. That computer connects to the modem and then the NAT.
Silly networks.

If you have OpenFT working, can I have a copy of your ~/.giFT/OpenFT/nodes file? Mine is kind of bare, and I'm thinking maybe the nodes currently on it are out-dated?

FLOODS · 06-07-2004, 11:54 PM

ack, found the nodes file it was supposedly going to copy to my home nodes file, but guess it just decided not to. The list I had had about 15, the new file has about 150. It now connects, I just hope that it updates the nodes list while connecting to the network. giFTui is showing 1502 users on OpenFT, heard there was supposed to be more..! Guess I'll find out soon enough though

EDIT: yep, it's definitely flip-flopping around on the network. Guess I kick back and hope it all works out right now.

FLOODS · 06-08-2004, 01:21 AM

hm, it will eventually connect, but if I search it gives no results and very quickly says search completed, then the OpenFT network disconnects from me. I get back to

bump.

(sorry for bad english).I've using Slackware 13, gift version 0.11.8.1, and Gnutella 0.0.10.0. I having this SAME problem >

[22:20:08] Gnutella: try_some_nodes() returned 0. node list len=0
[22:20:08] Gnutella: No hosts to try. Looking in gwebcaches...
[22:20:08] Gnutella: gt_web_cache.c:583(check_dns_error): lookup failed on "none": Unknown host
[22:20:08] Gnutella: Retrying to connect to nodes...

i've tried to add this hosts (http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gnucle...ode-lists.html) to ~/.giFT/Gnutella/files , but didn't work, it appears they dont read the hosts OR no one of then is valid.

any help will be appreciated, thanks please help us, Appears to much people with this problem in the Google !!! an one "important" thing: ALL protocols still running, because all your respective default ports stay listening, look this at netstat -lnpt |grep (port number of protocol).

---EDITED---

I'm having connection problems with ALL networks, i'll be post your respective errors, for those have this program working nicely can help me

i know that is an OLD post than i revived, but no one have any idea of may be wrong ? I'm using and adsl-pppoe connection, without bridge, hard-firewall or iptables or nothing intermediating the connection.

The problem isnt the Gnutella net, because i migrated to GTK_Gnutella. Just dont wanna give up !

Apparently, the solution is migrate to another p2p software. Thanks and sorry for the incovenient.
