College Dorm Room - No Connection!
 

I recently moved into my college dorm room, and now once I have my internet set up, I can't connect in Limewire. Also, my computer has no firewire.

I know other kids are using software like Kazaa, etc.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

do you know if your college has a firewall?

yes it does i just found out. is there any way to get around it or bypass the firewall? i know that other kids are successfully using file sharing software

me too!
 

I have the same problem with my school! However, I can successfully use Kazaa .. why? HELP ME! PLEASE!

Kazaa must be using a different port that is allowed to recieve FTP messages by the college's firewall. Try configuring LW to listen to that port.

how do i go about configuring my LW in such a way?
Thanks!!

Yeah ... fill us in! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

First, find out what port Kazaa is using. Then go to Tools, Options and look around in there. Just change the ports and click apply. (I'm too lazy/sleepy at the moment to give more precise directions, sorry)maybe tomorrow..

Tools, Options? The only thing under my Tools bar is "Statistics"

??

Well, if you'd read the rules, you'd know what info about your comp to post and I would know how to reply better: since (apparently) you must have Mac, so click Limewire, Preferences (or Options if you have OS 9).
