For the past week i have seen quite a few posts saying "New kazaa wont connect" and i have been giving all the usual advice ie jump supernode and tips on how to use kazupernodes and a few people were still saying it wouldnt connect and I assumed it was a noob thing! Until it happened to me yesterday! I ended up re-installing kazaa and it was ok for a while and then it happened again so I went a little deeper and this is what i found..........
status... kazaa not connecting.......tried the usual.......no effect
I then went to tools and opened Kazupernodes and noticed that in the top right box called CURRENT CONNECTION it wasnt connecting to a node. I then noticed that in the same box in the bottom window where it say's "KAZAA IP PORT" that it said 00.0.000.00.1243.........now this should have had MY IP AND PORT in it and mine certainly isnt all zeros! kazaa works on connecting IP to IP and it occured to me that if it didnt have my IP then it wasnt gonna work!
now for the fix..... if kazaa is working for you now take a look at what it says in KAZAA IP PORT in kazupernodes. this is your ip address and the port that kazaa is using. Write it down.
If kazaa stops connecting and you have tried jumping nodes etc and it still not working all you have to do is type in your IP address and the port kazaa using in KAZAA IP PORT then hit refresh, this will restart the connection in kazaa and all should be ok
if it aint workin now and you need to find your ip address click HERE then click OPTIONS>KAZAA LITE K++ OPTIONS>FIREWALL to see what port you using and then type this and your IP into KAZAA IP PORT and hit refresh
I hope this helps you all with connection probs and if anyone can make this simpler or has an easier solution please post it :D :D

no worries.... i think the bug thats in latest version is that it sometimes sets ya ip address to zero's. hopefully a developer will look at this.
ps I apologise to anyone i didnt believe in temp forum when they said it still wouldnt connect........ Ive had a full helping of humble pie for my tea.....yummy ;)

Very Interesting, I'm gonna PM, perhaps this should be Pinned or Fixed if true.

I dont care where it goes, who repeats it or what language its done in so long as it stops people posting over and over! :D
and I should have added that this applies only if its NOT showing your ip and port in kazaa ip port box in kazupernodes, if it is showing then its prob just a case of jumping supernode to get connected :D
I just been on msngr with mate of mine who has been using kazaa since the stoneage and he was having same prob wiv new version and couldnt sort it so he looked and sure enough his ip was zeros, he tried the fix and it worked, but IF its an inherent fault with new version i dont know if its a permanent fix, but it hasnt happened to me since and im connected nearly 24/7 so fingers x. Ive always managed to sort the usual connection probs by jumpin node etc but this one seems different?? :rolleyes: anyway any feedback would be great... good or bad :D

I havent had that problem yet, im connected now downloading and uploading. But when i open kazupernodes theres nothing at KAZAA IP:PORT box;not zeros but nothing,its empty.can you explain me that pleasE?
