Yeah, well, I do go to a university, but it allows me to share files on kazaa and kazaa lite, i've also had morpheus at one time, so I don't think that that 's the problem...I've had my firewall disabled for quite some time as well. This is a strange problem..I really don't know what it could be...If my school blocked file sharing, I wouldn't have been able to use the other programs, am i right? hmm....thanks for your input, i've been waiting for someone to reply to anything i have to say.
