Let us have a quick look at the bottom of the window. Here you see the statusbar.
On the left you see that you are using Zultrax P2P and which version you are using.
More interesting is the field that comes next: Connections. You see the number of connections you have, that is the number of other nodes you are connected with. Each node is another user sharing, searching and downloading files. With them a communication line is open, as you are connected to e.g. 15 nodes, those 15 are all also connected to a number of other nodes, which are again connected to again other nodes. Like this you are connected to the entire network. Nodes communicate through each other.

Important is the green light in front of the connections. Is it green than you have both incoming connections (other nodes have connected you) and outgoing connections (you connected other nodes). Is the light yellow than you don't have either incoming connections or outgoing connections. Is it red than you do not have connections at all.
With only incoming or outgoing connections Zultrax P2P will do its work but much slower. With no connection at all,
you won't find anything and cannot download anything.
It could be that at first use of Zultrax P2P it could take a while - but not more than an hour - before the red light first becomes yellow and then becomes green. You are new on the network and need to get settled in.

If it stays yellow or red you'll have to do something. The program cannot connect to your Internet connection. Possible a firewall is blocking access or you are trying to run two P2P applications at the same time. Your network administrator could also have blocked access for P2P file sharing software.
In this case read the following sections for a solution:
