I installed giFT, gift-devel, and the following network plugins: OpenFT, Gnutella, FastTrack, Ares. I am using Apollon as a front-end. When I start Apollon, Gnutella and OpenFT connect, but FastTrack and Ares never connect. They are included in the Apollon list of plugins when I configure Apollon. Is there a special port to forward for these, as I have opened them in my firewall and checked both the FastTrack.config and the Ares.config port numbers to match what I have opened in my firewall. All plugin folders are in my /~/.giFT directory. I ran setup and all is okay. However, when I run "giftd -v", it says that there may be another daemon running, which is NOT the case. I run "ps -ef | grep -i gift" and there is only one giftd process. I've searched quite a few forums, and nothing seems to help.

Any other clues, please? Thanks!
