 More Details

You will find the Prefrences->Local->Network dialog contains more choices.

Chose the OpenSource P2P Net and click the "Change settings to this" button.

You will find the list of blocked clients in Prefrences->Connect dialog, edit them as you wish.

To get connected you will need a server or IP to start with, check the home page here or gnutellaforums.com for IP addresses people have posted for OpenSource P2P.

Now we will replace the old static host cache servers, and turn off auto evolve. Quickly go to the top menu Edit-> Preferences-> Connect-> Servers and then right click on each server name and select "Remove".

Now enter any new IP addresses into the "Host:", and port number into "Port:" then click "Add". This prevents them from getting deleted. As the network grows you won't need to do this.

IMPORTANT! Post your IP! (and port number) to gnutellaforums.com in the "General" posting area under this subject.

Run this 24/7 if possible. You should get connected quickly and it should stay that way. More nodes will show up.

 Even More Details (note this is old stuff and needs to be sorted out!)

(THIS NEEDS UPDATING FOR THE NEW VERSION!)

If you know Windows well, read on, it's easy. If not, skip to the next section.

Basicly we will be replacing the old Gnucleus.exe program file with the modified version you just downloaded.
You should have already been running Gnucleus and know it works fine. You can create a new folder to run it in
or just use the new modified one. If you use a new folder, make a copy of the existing folder and rename it.
You should delete the file "GnuCache.net". Double click on the new Gnucleus program and have fun!
Find a IP at gnutellaforums.com and enter it as a host cache or add it as a node.
Post your IP back. Go to Edit-> Preferences and turn off "Auto-Evolve Gnucleus" and set your port if needed.


Full long instructions to install the new modified Gnucleus 1.6.3 program:

NOTE: Make a copy of the contents of your current "Gnucleus" folder, and rename it to "Gnucleus2"

You will be able to run two copies at the same time, one normal and one on the OpenSource P2P Net for now.
Use "Windows Explorer" to delete the file "Gnucleus.exe" and "GnuCache.net" in the new "Gnucleus2" folder.
Download this modified Gnucleus Program EXE file Gnucleus.exe (900K)
Cut and Paste it into the new "Gnucleus2" folder if you didn't download it to that folder already.
The new EXE file is only the executable program, it needs all the other files in the folder to work.
Connect to the Internet, then double click on the new "Gnucleus.exe" program to start it.

Now we will replace the old static host cache servers, and turn off auto evolve.
Quickly go to the top menu Edit-> Preferences-> Connect-> Servers and then right click on each
server name and select "Remove".

Now enter any new IP addresses into the "Host:", and port number into "Port:" then click "Add"
This prevents them from getting deleted. As the network grows you won't need to do this.
New IPs are posted to gnutellaforums.com , check there.

Is it safe to post your IP? Yes, if you are already using Gnucleus (or others) your IP is everywhere!
Post your IP even if you are a modem user! I am working on a new static host cache from this server!
Go to Edit-> Preferences-> Connect-> Local and then un-select "Auto-Evolve Gnucleus." and
if you plan to run two copies of Gnucleus, you should set this new one "Set incoming port" to 6347.
You can share the same files from your "shared" folder, just change the Preference settings.
