About that:

http://slskboard.savagenews.com/index.php?...?showtopic=8105 (http://slskboard.savagenews.com/index.php?showtopic=8105)

Maybe its of any help to you guys, but its abracadabra to me :(

Please be advised that until this matter is resolved, the server is unable to take on new connections. In other words, if you are a user trying to log in, you will be unable to, though the server IS, in fact up. Additionally, if you close your client, reboot, or whatnot; you will also be unable to log back on to the server. Connectivity is, naturally, congruant with the domain being available. This will be remedied as quickly as possible.

Here is the fix:

Find your hosts file,
in Windows XP it is C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
in Windows 2000 it is C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
in Windows 98 it is C:\WINDOWS\hosts
I'm not sure what it is in ME/95.

Now open the file with Notepad.
Add these four lines to the very bottom of the file:

38.115.131.131 sk2.slsk.org
38.115.131.131 www.slsk.org
38.115.131.131 mail.slsk.org
38.115.131.131 server.slsk.org

Now go to: File\Save (Not Save-As)

This will solve the problem.

Or though it was earlier today....try it and see.I did it today and it worked.....but have not been off of SS since then. :huh:

Ok I open up that fucking notepad file and this is what I get

# Copyright &copy; 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a &#39;#&#39; symbol.

This is for FC, because he is the master of fixes. So.... here is the story, I have Win98 SE ... anyway I go into windows and look for the &#39;hosts&#39;. I have two, one is named &#39;hosts&#39; and the other is named &#39;Hosts&#39;. Both are unassociated with any program to open it with, and have the &#39;windows&#39; icon inside it.

I opened the &#39;hosts&#39; one with notepad and added those lines you had listed. then I clicked &#39;File&#39; and then save and had no clue what type to save it as or where to save it in... so I saved it as a txt doc and in windows.... and that did absolultely nothing except create a text file... I dont know why soulseek wont work still. I did read that little dialog you put at the beginning about the domain name. I read that somewhere, but that didnt tell me anything other than "just wait and it will be back up soon"

So... I hope you have some suggestions.

Thanks brother.

No problem..........but just in case there is some type of mishap, I&#39;ll need your address. Maybe you could include a map as well from the Int&#39;l Airport to your place. Feel free to include some touristy stops along the way - places she will be able to tell me the history and significance of.

I opened the &#39;hosts&#39; one with notepad and added those lines you had listed.&nbsp; then I clicked &#39;File&#39; and then save and had no clue what type to save it as or where to save it in... so I saved it as a txt doc and in windows.... and that did absolultely nothing except create a text file... I dont know why soulseek wont work still.&nbsp; I did read that little dialog you put at the beginning about the domain name.&nbsp; I read that somewhere, but that didnt tell me anything other than "just wait and it will be back up soon"

So... I hope you have some suggestions.

Thanks brother.
goto the hosts file you changed...and delete the .txt at the end of it...should do the trick...[/b][/quote]
Thanks for directing me to Cel.... since he is the real master of fixes....although you all are wizards and I am but a peon and cant fix this @#%%% thing. Ok so this is simple I am sure... but here is what my client says when I try to to open it.

"Could not resolve server address. If your Internet connection is up, this might be a temporary problem with your name resolution service. Please try again later."

When I go to my windows folder there still are two files in there... one is &#39;hosts&#39; and the other is &#39;Hosts&#39;. I tried again with the &#39;hosts&#39; and get the same result. It just creates a new .txt files with all the same info that was there when I opened it with the notepad program.

Yes, Hog.... I did click &#39;Save&#39; and not &#39;Save As&#39; just as I did the first time.

I took a look at what you said Cel about deleting the .txt portion at the bottom and I do not see and IP addresses with .txt extenstions there.... so I really dont know what you mean.

Additionally, I tried to open the &#39;Hosts&#39; file the same way and it seems its a sample file. when I closed it, the icon inside that file changed from the standard windows icon to a different one.... and I checked properties to see what type of file it was and it is called a &#39;SAM&#39; file... I have no clue what that is.

The original &#39;hosts&#39; file on the other hand remained the same, and when I clicked on properties for that one and check the type of file, it is still called &#39;File&#39; .

I am still without soulseek.

Try it and see...it worked for all of us today.But from what they are saying it is not anymore.

Well, that doesnt help me one bit since i dont even know where to find the damn hostfiles. I love you guys for helping eachother out here.... not&#33; :(
Here is the fix:

Find your hosts file,
in Windows XP it is C:&#092;WINDOWS&#092;system32&#092;drivers&#092;etc&#092;hosts
in Windows 2000 it is C:&#092;WINNT&#092;system32&#092;drivers&#092;etc&#092;hosts
in Windows 98 it is C:&#092;WINDOWS&#092;hosts
I&#39;m not sure what it is in ME/95.

Now open the file with Notepad.
Add these four lines to the very bottom of the file:

38.115.131.131 sk2.slsk.org
38.115.131.131 www.slsk.org
38.115.131.131 mail.slsk.org
38.115.131.131 server.slsk.org

Now go to: File&#092;Save (Not Save-As)

This will solve the problem.

____________________________________________________________


Or though it was earlier today....try it and see.I did it today and it worked.....but have not been off of SS since then. :huh: [/b][/quote]
I have a much better solution:

Uninstall SoulSeek and start buying your music legally. This will make life much easier for you in the very near future - trust me.

Sincerely,

Mr. Sherman

It seems the most recent problem I&#39;m having is not that server Hosts.txt (fixed that one)
but just the large amount of memory slsk is hogging up.
:unsure: It&#39;s slowing my web browsing down A LOT and bringing my downloads in soulseek to a crawl, or almost complete stop.

Major bummer

Thanks for all your input Linda and "Hogster" hehehehe funny name there.... anyways, as I have said before.. I am not saving as... I am just saving. But, I did get a message from celery and he said to save as text.... now... for me to save as anything I must, well.....&#39;save as&#39; although I have not... I repeat I have not.... once again... I have not &#39;saved as" yet.... but I might just try that, because simply trying to click &#39;save&#39; puts a .txt file in my windows folder.

Sometimes it feels as if I talk to myself.

/me is talking to himself.

OUCH&#33;&#33;&#33; It hurts the brain sometimes when that is done.

WOOWOO

KwahyaJ (JayhawK) - it&#39;s working fine.

Go HERE (http://slsk.blogspot.com/) to get the fix for the problem.

Here is what it says:

///Soulseek News///

Thursday, September 04, 2003

A temporary DNS fix client is available HERE (http://slsk.blogspot.com/). I recommend you backup your *.cfg files before you install this, just in case. If clicking directly on the link doesn&#39;t work, try right-clicking it and selecting "save...", that should do the trick.

Just try a re-install.

Backup your .cfg files first.

That&#39;s my only other suggestion - Good Luck.

.cfg files are files within the folder you have Soulseek installed.

They contain the info. about:

Your current uploads
Your current downloads
Your approved userlist
Your user info.
Etc.

They are named:

attributes.cfg
autoaway.cfg
chatrooms.cfg
dlbans.cfg
hotlist.cfg
ignores.cfg
login.cfg
queue.cfg
queue2.cfg
rcmnd.cfg
save.cfg
search.cfg
shared.cfg
transfersview.cfg
ui.cfg
userinfo.cfg
wishlist.cfg

They will save you from having to rebuild all that info.

Wherever you have SoulSeek installed.

For me it&#39;s:

C:&#092;Program Files&#092;Soulseek

It may be different for you - just use explorer to find it.
