Check "Connect to eDonkey2000 today" and "Auto-connect every session". Press "OK" and wait a couple of seconds to see if eTomi connects.

 

 

Checking the eDonkey2000 host cache

To check, hit F8 to open the 'Host Cache' window. Switch to the eDonkey2000 cache by choosing the eDonkey Cache tab in the bottom right corner.

Choose "Download...". A dialog box with an URL will appear. Unfortunately, the URL displayed here by default doesn't seem to work anymore. Try to replace it with http://www.edonkey2000.com/server.met and click "OK" to get a new up-to-date list of eDonkey2000 servers. (Note: If you wish to insert another URL, you can google for 'server met' to find URLs of other server.met files.)
