Hi, well this is my problem. I can't connect to Ares with giFT i type in the command line :

$ giftd -v

And this is what appears :

[18:30:57] giftd 0.11.8.1 (Dec 12 2004 20:14:39) started

After a while apears this :

[18:34:39] Ares: as_session.c:227(session_connected): Connected to 68.195.0.155: 16763

I suppose this means that giFT is connected am i right ? . And when i try to search something this is what i get :

[18:38:45] Ares: as_search_man.c:194(as_searchman_search): Sent new search for " Metallica" to 0 supernodes

I don't know what's wrong i have the ports 59049 forwarded ( both TCP and UDP) . I 've tryed the FastTrack network and i can connect , havent try others. Thanks For your time

Finally i could connect to Ares (also Fasttrack and open) with gifT. First i downloaded this nice program ( checkinstall for make a DEB package of a source compiled code. like this :
1.- i uncompress the gz or bz2 file of the ares plugin
2.- in the folder that contains the uncompresed bianrys :
./configure
make
checkinstall
(after a little wizard the package will be created)
4.- after the instalation of the plugin package i reconfigure the options basicallly i left the defaults configuration only i've changed in HOSTS_ALOW = ALL
I don't know if this change made that gift works correctly with ares maybe it could help others i dunno .
