No Server List Address Entry
#1

When I started up emule today, I received the following error message:
"No server list address entry in 'address.dat" found. Please post a valid server list address into this file in order to auto-update your server list."
Would someone please walk me through this procedure as this is the first time this has happened to me.
I suspect this error was caused by me trying out a new anti spyware program called True Sword, which I have since removed off my PC.
Regards

About True Sword:
True Sword, securitystronghold.com
ridiculous, false positives, works as goad to purchase
(In other words: crap!)
Stick with Ad-aware(Lavasoft), spybot S&D, Ewido, Microsoft antispyware.

Thanks for your quick reply.
To answer: Yes the servers are visible and they appear to be working.
I have all 3 connections , eD2K Network, eD2KServer and Kad Network. The 'web interface' is not enabled.
'niclights', I have gone to the site you suggested and clicked to add to eMule and got the download window momentarily.
All appears to be working, except I still get the same masseage and along with that the eMule splash screen will not go away until I drag the error message from behinh and splash screen and then click it off, the splash screen then goes away and all appears O.K.
I agree with you SirPeter about True Sword. I had Ghost.exe copied to another folder as I was doing some work with it and it identifed this file as a hi-jacker. That was enough for me to dump it but by then the above damge was done.
I need to know exactly what it is that I have to cut/copy and paste.
I think I have found the location to where I have to paste it once I know what to paste and where to get it from.

Two ways out of this:
* In Options > Server, disable the "Auto-update server list at startup". You can still update your server list manually at any time using the server list at gruk.org.
* Add a valid link to the file addresses.dat. To do that, go to Options > Server. Next to the "Auto-update server list at startup" option there's a button labeled "List...". Click on it. It will open Notepad. Copy and paste a valid link to a server list into Notepad and then save. For instance, you can use this link: http://www.gruk.org/server.met.gz

You hit the nail on the head so to speak
I decided to untick the auto update before reading your reply and I no longer got the error message.
But after reading your post I copied your suggested link and pasted it, I then re-activated the auto up date and sure enough, all appears to be working O.K.
I will progressively now add update links to that auto list now that i know what I am required to paste here.
Regards
PS. Is that a photo of you in the icon?
