How to get past a firewall?

[focus141]

I just got to college, and my winmx doesn't work for me anymore. I was wondering if it was just because of a firewall or becasue of the program. If anyone can walk me through how to solve this problem or if i need to get a different program, please let me know. Thanx

Your college may have that port blocked, many of them do that. :(

Try another p2p ap, and see if it will work.

This winmx central is telling me to "Access the configuration menu using your web browser (http://192.168.0.1)" but I dont know how to do this, can anyone help me?

Have u tried typing http://192.168.0.1/ into the address bar of ur browser???

That should do it

Yeah I tried that, but all it does is bring up a "cannot find server" screen.

[the_dial_up_boy]

yes because you aren't administrator...

So is there any hope for me getting winmx or any program working for me at college?

Odds are, you have your own real live genuine IP address, and aren't behind a NAT router, so that suggestion wasn't really all that helpful.

My three suggestions would be:

Try K++ (Definantly not Regular KaZaA, sometimes the packet shapers look for the spyware's packets, not the network packets, to block) on a different port than default.

If that doesn't work, try WinMX on secondary mode, on a different port than standard.

If all else fails, try a Gnutella Client (I suggest BearShare, though don't forget to uninstall SaveNow after installation) set to port 80

If you are like I am and are lacking in the "technical skills" department, but at the same time, miss using WinMX (http://www.vladd44.com/mx/), there is a quick, easy and free solution it is called MXPIE (http://www.MXPie.com). There is no spyware or anything else bundled with it. For those a little more savvy and courageous, there is even a manual option.

So come on back to WinMX, and download to your hearts content. Thanks to these updates, not even the power of the RIAA can stop a network.

IF you have downloaded WinMX and still cannot connect, you can even get personalized realtime help. Just go to this link WinMX Channels (http://www.vladd44.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=6514) Copy the Room name appropriate for your Language and paste it into your WinMX chat screen, then press the Join Button. This works on version 3.53 and up even if you are not connected. It allows you to join into chatrooms set up for you to get immediate help.

I have also found a site for Computer problem (http://www.gemini777.net) that is nice, prompt and VERY helpful. If there is a problem you need an answer to, they can help.
