Dear All,
I have installed Kazaa Lite onto the crossover wine on my Suse 8 system. The problem is that when it comes up it just sits there trying to connect forever and never connects. I have tried many solutions that I found on the net to no avail. I did not install IE onto my crossover wine. Did I need to do that for it to work?
Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe not the exact answer you are looking for, but... why install Kazaa when you have native Linux clients that tie into the same filesharing networks? If you poke aorund on the SuSE disks you should find mldonkey in there. mldonkey connects to the eDonkey network as well as Limewire, OpenNap AudioGalaxy etc.
You also have Gnutella on the disks and this ties you into Limewire, Bearshare etc. And then there is the old standby.... eDonkey2000... they provide a nice Linux client that connects you into eMule and Edonkey.
So.. lots of Linux native options.. beats installing Kazaa Lite in Wine and futzing around trying to get it running.

Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, I agree I would rather use something in Linux and not Kazaa in wine. My brother who uses Kazaa in windows xp and knows nothing of Linux wants to share files with me directly and says I have to have Kazaa to do it with his Kazaa. If I can do it from Limewire instead that would be fine with me. I use Limewire and like it. I notice many say they cannot find what they are looking for but I have had very good luck with it so far. If I can share a file with him from limewire that he receives in Kazaa that would be great. Does anyone know if this can be done and how? Thanks Bernd for remindind me that I do not want to install IE. I came to my senses and know that I will not do that. Thanks, Marcia
