![]() Well, it turns out I called WHTV as an "anonymous" caller and they told me that yes they do block p2p (u should let ppl know what p2p is - "peer 2 peer?" sharing). They say it is because of the bandwith used in p2p. So, that means they don't support it or block it. Now, I doubt there's anyway around it unless I switch ISPs. Ya think? That really sucks, I would've liked to know that before I got set up with them. |

![]() If they block p2p, then you might be a bit stuffed...I doubt changing ports would help. Check the thread below, you might find something to help but no guarantees! http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=32882 Switching ISP is the obvious fix but it depends on whether you signed a contract for a specified term...you might end up having to pay a fee to get out of the contract. If you do go looking for a new ISP, check their Acceptable Use Policy or Fair Access Policy (sometimes this info is found in general Terms & Conditions too). That will often tell you whether the ISP is anti p2p. Google the ISP & search for these policies, often the customer service people won't give you a straight answer or aren't aware that it's going on:wink: You could also add WHTV to this thread of providers who block/filter p2p...might help someone in the future. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=33712 |

![]() Up until 2 days ago I had no problem with connecting to limewire. Now, the dreaded firewall symbol is showing and I can't access it. Tried suggestions outlined in this forum but to no avail. Any more ideas? ISP provider is AAPT. ![]() |
