Does Limewire's servers offer another port other than 6346 for connecting to?
 

Evidentally, my company's ISP has blocked 6346 (for obvious reasons) but it's not our system administrator's firewall doing this block. It has to do with the ISP. Is there any way to connect to the gnutellanetwork by setting up a server list that communicates on some other "publically unaware" port?

Try getting a serverlist from my ftp-server:

ftp://whitedragon.dyndns.org/gnutella.net

copy it into your LimeWire folder overwriting your old gnutella.net.

This should help you getting connect. Most ISPs don't block port 6346, - instead they simply block the public pong caches which you need to connect.

I'm updating my serverlist several times a week, so you shouldn't have any problems connecting with it.

By the way, LimeWire updates this gnutella.net file, once it is connected, automatically, so you won't need this file every time you want to connect to the network.

That's what I need. I'll give'er a try. But if they do block the Pongs, is there a way around that?

LimeWire is working on a solution for that problem, but I don't know any details yet.

I got the file and put it in the limewire folder. I went to connections and I saw Limewire attempting each of the IPs in that list, and none were successful so there's evidentally something the ISP's doing to block it. I know KaZaA gets through, but most downloads are slow because most are on gnutella.

I'll be looking out for whatever fix comes along for this.

Thanks for your help anyway.
