This is a discussion on I think i might have my solution... within the Computer Tech forums, part of the Computers and Technology category; I think i might have my solution but i still ned help with something!! ok like i have said before ...
I think i might have my solution but i still ned help with something!! ok like i have said before every p2p programs tell me that i'm behind i firewall so, even if my firewalls sometimes are off and have all the ports open and i'm not behind a proxy or NAT i think i might know the problem. i use a wireless card to connect to the internet, i use it on my notebook conecting it on the PCMCIA cardbus, i was reading on some websites that now that people is using this thing to connect to the internet and i mean a lot of people the newest cardbus comes with a internal firewall. so i just bought my notebook maybe comes with firewall.
i mean if is not this what else??
so my question now is that if in case this is true? how can i open ports on that?? or disable it?
hope someone can help me.
Hey my oficial language is spanish, so my english is work of my effort, hope all of u understand. ;o)
you should probably contact the manufacturer of the cardbus you use
This is possible, but I think it is unlikely that any modem - even a wireless one - would have a hardware firewall built in. Routers usually have this, but I have never seen this 'feature' in any modem. But if you are "firewalled", I would suspect that this might be your ISP that is doing this - at their end.
Is it possible that you might have another firewall running and you don't know about it? Many 'security' or utility suites have a built-in firewall that they set up when you install the application. Make sure that this is not the case.
As I said in another thread, you can test to see if you have any blocked ports. If what you suspect is true, then this would show up during the test. Another thing you can try doing is to change your P2P app's ports to a known open port.
But even if you do have blocked ports (which means you are "firewalled"), there are ways around this. Having a blocked port just means that YOU must initiate the connection between you, the other person cannot.
Some P2P networks in which you connect to a server will work for firewalled users if the sever is set up that way. Try Opennap, DC++, and Exosee and see if they work. (and of course Limewire)
Also, connecting through a proxy may make you function as "un-firewalled" because all your traffic goes to one single IP address.
I would suggest connecting to a dial-up ISP (or other internet connection) - there are many free trials you can use, or go to a friend's house - and see if you are still firewalled.
