I am on Bellsouth DSL right now (see time of post). Using Mac OS X's terminal I type:
telnet
www.limewire.com 80
and I get
Trying 64.61.25.138
Connected to
www.limewire.com
Escape character is '^]'.
So I know the internet is working. Then I type
telnet connect3.limewire.com 6346
and I get
connect3.limewire.com: Unknown Host
The same thing happens when I use router.limewire.com and the others. Did Bellsouth quietly block this DNS lookup or IP address or something? Unless the Limewire servers are down, I think that Bellsouth has tried to block gnutella usage.
Can anyone else confirm or deny this?
Thanks!
