Hi

I cannot connect although I read the threads and I tried the steps described there to get connection.

I get Internet connection through an unsecured wireless network from the institute nextdoor. I recieve just enouth signal. So I don't know provider, router, ports etc. I get everything and pretty fast with this internet connection but i wonder if i can do p2p in principle if the institute probably disabled such actions?

does any one know what I can try out? Or how i make sure that there is not another problem responsible form the missing connection than my guess above?

thanks
