Connecting

My school has a pretty high tech firewall and proxy and i wondered if there was a P2P program that can get through it?

From what I've seen that was posted on different forums, Ares is good and it's not blocked my firewalls and crap.

People are saying that es5 can connect through firewalls and proxies and it is supposedly coming out tomorrow.

**Juggalo15** · March 3rd, 2003, 09:17 PM

Are there any other ideas,can nothing really connect through firewalls and proxies..?

**chipperrox** · March 3rd, 2003, 09:22 PM

no offense but i think es5 is either vaprware ORR just plain old piece of shit program, i would be SUPRIZED if it is anything but option a or b. lets hope i dont have to eat these words

basicly, you're gonna get through it, or you're not, there isn't really a magical key that lets you through

Have you tried any program? you may be surprised (although you may have to work with proxy settings, or finding an open port)

I'm at school too, and the only thing that really worked for me was Soulseek. Not sure why. A few others connected (not many... most just sat there wasting space and everything else) but wouldn't let me actually do anything. I got search results on audiognome, but I couldn't download. Same with kazaa.

A friend of mine at a different school can't do any file transfers at all... no file sharing for him. Not even over AIM or MSN or whatever else.

I'll give a couple a try but yea not even AIM will connect on the school computers,i know kazaa wont cause ive tried that...same with limewire,I guess i'll try soulseek or somethin.

AIM will connect if you change the connect port to 21 !

Kurt, think you could PM me or post here a listing of what each port does? I've tried to find a website that explains this, for instance port 21 is a dedicated port for (DNS?)

If you don't know its ok, just curious
