Hi jonnn69!
A general note: Please do yourself and the ones who read your text a favor and format your text a bit.
When you write everything down in a flow it's hard to read, particularly as here are many who don't speak English as their first language.
The default nodes.dat address is unfortunately not working anymore. Try searching in the web for an address or connect to Kademlia via boot strapping - you are connected to another client who you found via server connection who will provide you with the necessary information to connect likewise the nodes.dat file would do.
The globe with the two arrows is in the lower right corner in the status bar. I remember a bug which caused the status bar to be displayed wrong, cutting of a part of the right side. Maybe this happened for you as well.
I hope this helps and a Happy New Year to you.
