Bhoot

I wasnt aware of that. I did check it out. Advanced Direct Connect Protocol. However, my project focuses on a DC Client rather than the hub. So I would rather stick to DC instead of ADC. Thanks anyways for the advice. If required, I will check it out further.

Actually PtokaX has both implementations : on Windows (ofcourse, with GUI) and Linux (ofcourse, without GUI :w00t: ). I am working on the Linux version as my professor insists on it.

Thank you for your help. But I got it running. The mistake I was doing was that I wasnt running PtokaX as root which is required for the default port 411. I wasnt aware that 1-1024 ports are reserved for root. Its solved now. Thank you for giving your time anyways :P

umm..i didnt specify any port number while compiling and starting the server for first time. And in its Settings.xml, there are simply two entries of hub address and hub name. So where do i find the port number of the hub?

you mean in ApexDC++ new hub properties..i write "localhost" in hub address? i tried it..didnt work..

I am developing a DC++ client as my summer project. I will use jdcbot framework for that. For setup purposes, I compiled and ran a PtokaX hub on my machine. Then, from the same machine, I tried to connect to that Ptokax hub through ApexDC++. But it gives the error of "Connection closed : Connection refused". I had my openSUSE firewall uninstalled. Still, I get the same error. The settings of the hub include simply the hub name and the hub address. Could anyone provide me with some solution?
