How fast is your connection? Is that on every hub? I get that screen too, but only for about 5 seconds, then the hub all loads up, messages are displayed, and in the right pane are the users lists. The way to see if you are fully connected though is to watch the (kb) in the lower left portion of the server window (in your pic it says 0 | 0B ). When you are connected it will display how many GB there are being shared on your hub.

FYI, I have DSL at 768/128
Cool
Yeah, it does it for everyone that I've tried at least. Well, I'm on a T1 line at school. Our library has a dedicated line that I can connect to, and it really cooks--I don't know the exact number, however. It is possible that it is blocked by the firewall, but I didn't think they would have known about this program--I don't our bootleg IT department has heard of Linux. It wouldn't work on its active setting, so I switched to passive. Any ideas?
Try connecting to Asgard Curzed, it's been most successful for me. Also, I'm in passive, and everything seems to work fine, make sure you are sharing something, and also try (outside of dcgui) pinging this IP (asgard curzed's IP):
213.112.110.74
I tried pinging Asgard Curzed's IP from the terminal, and here's the verbose output that I received:

It would have kept going, but I hit control-C--the first time I did it, it didn't seem like it was going to stop.
I'm not sure if I did that right...What do you think?
Looks fine to me, it appears to not be blocked, so then you should start looking at the port... Although if you are getting "connected" like you are, I am highly doubting you are being blocked....
FYI, ping -c5 1.2.3.4 will produce 5 attempts on a ping then stop, that seems to be the "standard"
Cool, looks good, only I don't know for sure if it's a port issue, you are connecting (apparently) but it stalls (or halts) after the initial connection, as if there is no feedback after initial connection....

When I restarted dcgui again today, I proceeded to follow MasterC's instructions but have run into a bit of a problem: the first few hubs I tried to connect to rejected me, stating that I was being redirected because I was sharing 0 Kb of data.
Do you have the "Enable uploads" check-box checked ? Do you have at least 1 slot available for upload (on the right of the earlier mentioned check-box) ?
Now, for my problem:
How can I change the colors that dcgui uses? (now it - stupidly - uses white on white for shares, green on green for connected hubs yellow on yellow for preferred hubs... ; the chats are ok let's say except for the time-stamp strings, but I don't need that that much, so...)
I am using debian sarge with gnome 2.4... would changing the theme of gnome would change anything? (AFAIK dcgui is integrated into gnome)
In several of these postings, links are given to a dcgui manual or documentation page, yet they all result in 404s. Is there a new
site or sites that provides this information?
