Verision has done something in the last 6 months. It's not a firewall, possibly its a protocol identifier. I was using Imesh and have tried the others, and can't connect at all. Limewire at least connects. I can put this machine on my sons velocity net connection and have no problems and can also put it on my nefews verision in a different town without trouble, being I can connect sort of now I will share any crack I can muster for this problem. As of now I can't upload (forcing the IP doesn`t help).
Limewire is the only one breaking through.
