Angry Blocked ports

Hi!

My ISP has blocked the ports 6346, 6347, 8080 (among others) to prevent filesharing. What can I do?

Thanks,

Pebble.

Hi!

At least one port must be open, find this and change it in your client - this should work!

Morgwen is right here.

Try out any other port in your gnutella client. Pehaps something common as port 20, 23, 79, 80 or 6666 (ports usually used for telnet, ftp, finger, http, irc - if not allready used by another server application on your computer)... or use a random highport (e.g. > 9999).

BUT this will only work if your provider is stupid and blocks incoming traffic _to_ 6346/6347. Expect (!!!) that your ISP will block incoming traffic _from_ 6346/6347. I that case you have a problem. Most gnutella servants run on these ports (according to my hostslists) ... only very less servants don't.
And even when you find one servant that does run gnutella on a gnutella-untypical port (not 6346/6347) and you connect via this servant, your chances are near zero that you can download files!
You might find files, but you will nearly never download. Because the direct P2P file transfar has a high chance to come from a 6346/6347 host, which is blocked by your ISP.
Solution... sorry no, only if you are a geek. Then you can tunnel all 6346 traffic through another host and port outside your ISP (port forwarding or socks2http or...). Okay there is an idea, you maybe wanna test other file sharing systems like eDonkey, Morpheus... visit www.zeropaid.com.

Good luck!

I wouldn´t recommend eDonkey because it contains Gator!

But Morpheus is a very good solution!

Note:

You can find files on the Gnet that you don´t find in Morpheus...

so I would try it to change the port and of course download Morpheus!

Hi Morgwen!
Yeah man, FastTrack (Morpheus, Kazza, Grokster) is fast and modern. When you follow new discussions on the_GDF, everyone is suddenly crazy about superpeer, swarming, file hashs, parallel downloads, automatic researches and metadata... I'm really really looking forward when all this is added to Gnutella!! Hehe, funny when I think back a few month, when really nobody liked this ideas or rumours about how bad Morpheus (or Xolox) allegedly is. Do you remember?

Yes!

But much has changed since then...

and we thought that clients like the legendary "defender" will be released soon...

now I see the reality - many of the features we are waiting for so long... are standard features, in Morpheus, for months!

Morgwen

P.S.:

I hope defender will be released in december and not again a pre-defender version... it is time...

Thanks all!

Unfortunately both incoming and outgoing traffic is blocked...

Well, it looks like I'm gonna use iMesh from now on...

Wel, I have Morpheus, love it, but it seems as if our ISP has blocked those ports just as the WSU school did. Someone I talked to had setup a proxy server or something to get through the firewall? Anyone know how to do it? I really want to get back in there. Thanks

put MORPHEUS in the subject line so I don't kill it like spam :-)
