A couple of questions Angus, since you prompted me to try to get Apollon working here when it wouldn't since the new machine was set up. What security level are you running? I ask because a customer system that I assembled yesterday running level "Standard" connects and shares files through Apollon. Your connection again? I'm on "Shaw High Speed Xtreme" and since I'm setting the application up and trying to make it work anything I suggest will have to be adapted to that difference, plus any relevant differences between Mandrake 10.0 and cooker.

I've installed 10.0 on 6 machines this past week, of that number 3 were for families that have rug rats that want to share their music with their friends. In all three cases Apollon initialized and ran without trouble. On your system and on mine there are difficulties. I know what may be the trouble with mine (it's cooked) but yours should have been simple. Since it seems as though you managed to get it installed, have you gone into the ~/.giFT directory and clicked on giftd.conf? Or started apollon from a terminal with the -v (verbose) flag? If you haven't done either take a look and post the results. I have Apollon starting at the moment but I keep getting time outs on the nodes during connection. I may have the security wound a little tight though so I'll have to check and open the default port (1213?) for it. When I find something else I'll post it.
