I'm behind a firewall at work. I can access any page on the internet but I can't uses P2P programs like soulseek, WinMX etc. Anyone know a way around this? I've tried using a HTTP Tunnel program but fuck all happened. I'm using Win2K as well. |

Impossible to tell without knowing how your firewall is set up, but generally it just won't work. That's what the firewall's for ... |

Bollocks. Oh well. It was nice to dream. |

When I say "won't work" I mean you won't have full bi-directional communication (people won't be able to upload from you.) Sometimes you can still download ... |

Can't even get that. I know bugger all about Firewalls and such like. Any good internet resources so I can learn more? |

Soulseek won't work beyond a firewall at all...it says in the FAQ... As for other P2P stuff, you'll need to read the docs and see what it requires...thet generally need to open some "ports" referred to by a number...say port 1000,1002 & 1003 for example... The firewall works by blocking certain ports so you'd need acess to it to tell it not the block the ports you need... I'm behind a Firewall as well...it sucks for P2P and I can't even get at the thing (even tho I run the bloody website for em etc...).. |

There is a decent explanation (look at the 3rd entry). If you search around a bit I'm sure you can find more info. |

at work huh? if ur not on a lan, thats connected to a firewall, then you might have some hope...if it's a software firewall, you can turn it off, if it's a hardware...then u might have to date ur manager to get him to turn it off., or set the properties for u to dl... |

Well I'm fucked then. I'm on a LAN it must be a hardware firewall and I have a homophobic boss who keeps going on about homosexuals at his parish and how it disgusts him. |

Thanks for your suggestions by the way people. |

there has to be a way....maybe you could bring ur own phone cords from home and some how manually connect ur comp to the server w/o having it go through the firewall... or if you wanna do 56k, just plug ur phone into the modem... there HAS to be a way! |

i use Zonealarm - isnt that a firewall? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yes, I've noticed a correlation between homophobia and hatred of p2p networks as well. marlowe: yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i can use soulseek and kazaa et al with no problem |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Perhaps they are a little confused over what the P means in P2P...;)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Zonealarm is like a personal software firewall...more to keep others from coming into your machine than keeping you locked out... So yeah, soulseek, Kazaa will work fine with that....my girlf had it on her machine and it asked whether she wanted to allow SS to connect or not; having answered Y once it doesn't ask again... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i get that too -- cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

just a minor correction, but soulseek basically does work from behind a firewall or NAT. if any client fails forming a connection to another client, it asks it to try and connect to it instead through the server. this means you won't be able to search/browse/transfer with users who are also firewalled, but you should still be able to find what you're looking for in most cases. |

I've installed it and i can't even find a server. I've tried all the the reccommended programs. Nanotech: I could't use a 56k as they monitor the length of phonecalls and where they are going. I want to use the LAN as it is a bloody fast connection. I downloaded the Trial version of Dreamweaver in 7 secs so for MP3's it would be great. |

Cheers for clarifying that... Sounds like I need to give it another go...I soooooooooo hope it works...we've got the smoothest connection at work.... (To those that don't know...NIR is the genius behind SS...so MAJOR PROPS due...).. |
