Hello Scott,
I have changed the start up order as per your last mail. The only difference
is that the Gnutella client activation is the first step. The display of
"detecting network..." was getting disturbed due to the message box that
Gnutella client shows.
Please suggest the changes that you need to make it more efficient.
Regards,
Varsha.
